For our students and researchers, the model opens up unique opportunities to delve into practical problems and to forge contacts with representatives of business and industry.
Opportunities for collaboration
We are open to and interested in new initiatives and proposals for university-business collaboration that may address various forms of collaboration in research and education. Our versatile opportunities for collaboration pertain to degree-awarding and continuing education, as well as to RDI activities. Possible forms of collaboration include, e.g., internships and theses completed by students, visits and excursions, joint research projects, commissioned projects and projects completed for clients, shared use of devices and instruments, and continuous learning modules. Collaboration may also be related to knowledge or technology transfer, or to the university’s fund-raising activities.
