Research Centre

VIA University College, Faculty of Health Sciences, is a partner in the Regional Nursing Research Centre, which is based on a collaborative agreement with Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia and Region Middle Jutland in Denmark.

This partnership was established to encourage and facilitate research that makes a difference in the clinical area and provides opportunities for research ‘at the coal-face’ for the sharing of information, experiences and research findings in the clinical practice.

The Center in Viborg was founded in 2005, and in 2007 an agreement was signed, and a center was established in Holstebro in the beginning of 2008.

Besides research projects, the centre invites nurses and bachelor students in a sort of ‘green house’ arrangements to cultivate and support nurses with interest in research and development projects in making plans for their competence development, writing PhD applications, etc.
