Hitachi Energy
The current cooperation agreement with Hitachi Energy was signed in October 2021.
The purpose of the agreement is
- to strengthen long-term strategic collaboration in education, research and innovation
- to identify future areas of collaboration and develop goals, strategies and concrete action plans and joint activities within these.
- to increase the competitiveness and attractiveness of both Hitachi Energy and the University.
Through collaboration, we will produce knowledge, ensure competence and quality, and find solutions that benefit Hitachi Energy, the University and, by extension, the region and society in which we operate.
The activities decided will lead to increased quality in skills development and lifelong learning, in research and in innovation, which in turn leads to sustainable growth and strengthened competitiveness for both parties.
The focus of the cooperation is on industrial transformation, skills development, talent supply, and research that contributes to a carbon-neutral energy future.
The cooperation is divided into a number of thematic areas
Research, Development and Innovation: continuous dialogue on research and research collaboration aimed at realising concrete research projects, both at national and international level.
Access to the physical environment, infrastructure and innovation systems: Dialogue on the joint use of research infrastructure and innovation systems.
