Hiring a researcher for commissioned research
Companies and organizations in need of cutting-edge expertise can carry out development assignments and investigations or broaden their own knowledge base with the help of hiring a researcher, so-called commissioned research. The end product is new research results that you, as the client, can commercialize and implement in your business. The assignment is fully or partially financed by the organization or company.
Hiring an industrial doctoral student
As an organisation or company, you have the opportunity to hire a doctoral student on a full or part-time basis to provide expertise in a key area for your company. The assignment combines direct results for your company with the academic challenge the doctoral student needs for his or her thesis.
Collaborate in research projects
The University runs many different research projects on an ongoing basis. Our scientific and artistic research is conducted in close collaboration with international, national and regional companies, public actors and leading universities. Our research has a turnover of SEK 1.1 billion, of which 60 percent is externally funded. We work in win-win partnerships. If you have an idea for a research project or want to be part of a research project, please contact us.
