What Does Co-Production Mean?
Co-production forms the basis of Knowledge Foundation’s operation and is an inherent element in the projects, the research and the educational environments that we fund. Co-production means that the projects we fund must be designed and implemented in close collaboration between academia and the business sector.
Stakeholders Determine Direction
The Knowledge Foundation’s Calls for Proposals are open to project proposals in all subjects and areas. It is academia and the business sector that jointly select the areas and research questions that are both of academic interest and highly relevant to business sector. The projects we fund therefore span a wide range of scientific and business areas.
All Programmes Contribute
Our programmes are aimed at enabling environments to establish and maintain a strong, long-term, national and international scientific or artistic position which also contributes to the profiling of the higher education institution. This enables the environment to also become a valuable long-term partner for the business sector.
What Is a Strong Environment?
A strong environment is one that has the capacity to develop its research and education in collaboration with the business sector, and takes a long-term, strategic approach to its development. Prioritisation and a shared, embedded ambition are crucial to establishing a strong scientific position and profile with high business sector and societal relevance.
