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 VIAs faculties and divisions.
We are very interested in participating in projects of high quality and of relevance to our educations, so please contact us if our competencies are relevant in 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 believe firmly in working closely together with local partners so the work is done with respect for 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
