Research Group of Research Competence
The complex issues encountered in today’s society call for professionals, researchers, lecturers and students with a research mind-set. This competence enables them to effectively gather and utilise the relevant knowledge and information. Through its activities, the research group aims to help individuals and programmes to follow a truly exploratory approach in their work processes.
