Student collaboration
Norrlandsnavet works to ensure that students interact with companies in northern Sweden through, for example, degree projects, summer internships or participating in project courses with real assignments from companies.
Norrlandsnavet is funded by the Kamprad family foundation and its purpose is to support, stimulate and reward education and scientific research in such a way as to promote entrepreneurship, the environment, skills, health and social development.
The Foundation's contribution to Luleå University of Technology is to be used exclusively for education and scientific research with the aim of promoting the development of business activities in Norrland - thus scholarships can be awarded for students' summer internships in companies.
