Strong research and educational environments

Strong research and educational environments

All forms of support contribute

All our programmes contribute in different ways to environments being able to establish and maintain a strong national and international scientific or artistic position in the long term, which also constitutes a profile area for the university. In this way, the environment can also become a long-term and valuable partner for business.

What is meant by strong environment?

A strong environment has the ability to collectively and long-term develop its research and education in collaboration with business. Prioritization and a joint, well-rooted ambition provide the conditions to establish a strong scientific position and profile with high relevance for business and society.
