Our academic partnerships

Research and development
We develop knowledge that helps solve societal challenges.

How do we take care of the increasing number of elderly people with chronic disease? How do we prepare our cities from flooding and create resilitence to the effects of climate change? And what does the changing roles of school educators mean to children and our future?

These are among the questions, our researchers work to help solve.

Centres and programmes

Our research and development centres and programmes develop knowledge related to the professions for which we educate students. Our degree programmes are based on the latest knowledge in their particular fields, and we help public and private institutions find new solutions to challenges facing the professions.

Applied research as a hallmark

A hallmark of our approach to research and development is our focus on applied research. As a university of applied science, we build our projects on close cooperation with public and private partners.
