VIA University College is engaged in various international research and development projects as lead institution or as partner. Projects are initiated under a variety of funding programmes and are often interdisciplinary and cross-sectorial yet always rooted within the educational fields of VIA's Faculties and Schools.
We are very interested in participating in projects of high quality and of relevance to our programmes, so please contact us if our competencies are relevant to your anticipated projects. The purpose of every project we participate in is to foster competencies and professional methods of staff and students – of their originality, openness and acceptance of diversity.
When participating in furthering innovation or development of e.g. education in other countries, we firmly believe in working closely together with local partners so the work is done in respect of local culture, traditions and ideas, and fulfil the actual needs of the locality.
In addition to specific outputs of a project, close cooperation between partners is an opportunity to identify common issues and complementary competencies which often leads to further and more qualified academic collaboration between the partners.
Examples of projects: International project, Faculty of Education and Social studies
Research and PhD. projects, Faculty of Health Sciences
