Research
We collaborate with foundations, companies, and organizations on everything from research funding and research collaborations to legal matters. We help SDU's researchers with grant applications, funding, and develop digital researcher support solutions across the university.
Education
We bridge the gap between study and work life in teaching and at events within career, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Together, we educate attractive students who create value for companies or organizations both during and after their education.
Collaboration
We create and facilitate innovation collaborations, identify and promote research with commercial potential, and connect the business community with the latest research-based knowledge. A collaboration promotes innovation in companies and can help solve societal challenges.
