Content

The research school is a collaboration between seven universities, seven companies, and seven regions and municipalities, and offers doctoral education for industrial and public sector partners in areas relevant to healthcare. The project started in 2022 and aims to strengthen research competencies in participating organizations. The research school has a multi-disciplinary approach, and the networking between organizations is one of the key facilitators to increase the value of the research school. Not only does the sector need increased research capacity, it also needs organizations who are ready to utilize research competencies to leverage an evidence-based approach. The project is funded by KK foundation and all involved partners.
