Collaborate with the School

The School's research and education has a purpose: to influence and contribute to a positive societal development. To succeed in this, commitment and cooperation with the business community and the society is required. The School addresses current societal problems, which are analyzed using the most appropriate methods. An interdisciplinary approach is often required and the School's breadth is a great asset, as is the fact being a part of the university.
