Tiivistelmä
Globalisation is posing challenges for society, the world of work and higher education. At Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK), internationalisation has been one of the main focus areas of development activities since our very beginning. Especially during recent years, we have also been launching new activities to meet the rapidly growing challenges.
HAMK’s research units play a key role in meeting these challenges. We have four research units:
Bioeconomy
Smart Services
Professional Excellence
Sheet Metal Centre (since 1998)
The units promote regional impact and customer-oriented research. They also have a strong international dimension. The research units and research groups function in important research projects with our international strategic partners, which are Feevale University in Brazil and VIA University College in Denmark.
In this publication, we will introduce the strategic basis for HAMK’s international activities and also the starting points and examples of international research activities.
