Collaborate on research
Our goal is simple – it should be easy for companies and organizations to collaborate with our researchers at the university. Therefore we offer support at every step of the process. From inspiration, matchmaking and knowledge exchange to funded collaborations.
All sizes of companies and organisations from a wide range of industries and sectors actively conduct R&D with researchers or research teams at Uppsala University. This can involve everything from collaboration with individual researchers to larger co-funded projects and partnerships.
Participating in collaborative research projects is an effective way to learn about the latest findings in a relevant field, both to expand your organisation’s own knowledge base and to gain access to new findings and advanced infrastructure. Uppsala University’ wide-ranging academic programmes mean the chances are good that we can match the needs of your organisation with the expertise and resources available at the University.
