Did you know that our students can be useful to your company?
We want our students to produce knowledge and solutions that is relevant for your company. To do this we need to know what you do, how you do it, and what challenges you are facing. Maybe our PhD students will be a part of the future solution for your challenges?
If we know what current and future issues companies are facing, we can ensure that PhD candidates will be trained accordingly.
Our students are interested in close interactions with companies and the public sector to get insights into industry relevant topics and perspectives through seminars, webinars, joint activities, and internships.
