Research and innovation collaboration

The Faculty of Technical Sciences is your partner with extensive experience in establishing business collaborations with the public sector and with private businesses.


Together with researchers from the faculty, you can generate knowledge to develop new technologies and translate knowledge into practice and sustainable solutions for society.

The faculty also has solid experience in applying for funding for collaborative projects. Collaboration is primarily through business collaboration and public sector consultancy

What do you get out of working with us?

A research partnership with Natural Sciences ensures an academic focus on your company's operations and development in close collaboration and dialogue with the world's leading researchers and research groups at Aarhus University.

If you are interested in participating in a research partnership with Technical Sciences, you can either contact the relevant department/centre directly, or find out more about the possibilities by contacting the faculty's dedicated contact for business collaboration.

Innovation & entrepreneurship

New knowledge comes into use, and innovative solutions emerge when businesses and entrepreneurs collaborate with our innovation environments.

Do you need a good business idea? Do you want to be an industrial partner in the development and realisation of new ground-breaking technology and help put research results into practice? Or do you need a graduate with strong entrepreneurial skills?

We have a number of academically anchored innovation environments for students and employees, and their aim is to establish a close link between entrepreneurs, SMEs and research and education environments.

Entrepreneurship on the curriculum

Our students are increasingly trained in entrepreneurship. Partly in order to strengthen the students' competences in collaboration with the business community, and partly to support them to develop their own businesses.

To find out more about how our academic innovation environments can benefit you, contact the faculty's business contact.

Strategic partnership

The Faculty of Technical Sciences wants to establish long-term strategic partnerships with selected national and international partners.

Strategic partnerships can be concluded with companies, organisations and government agencies and institutions, and they usually run over several years. The agreement has to help the partners develop close collaboration on research, education and innovation, etc.

One element in the agreement is that the partners regularly meet at management level to take stock of the existing collaboration, and identify any new opportunities for collaboration that may arise.

If you can see potential in entering into a strategic partnership with us, contact the Faculty's business liaison officer to find out more.
