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.

Why co-produce?

Co-production gives researchers and business actors an insight into and an understanding of each other’s needs. This also provides better conditions for research to be implemented and contribute to innovation, development, and renewal.

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.
