We train builders of sustainable tomorrow: cultural managers, interpreters and community educators. Our research programmes emphasize experimental, multidisciplinary, and participatory approaches. Our applied research produces new and impactful knowledge for education, development, innovation, and decision-making.
We work closely with public and third sector actors and companies. Multidisciplinary partnerships are a natural and important part of our activities.
Our research programmes extend from the local and regional level to national and international activities and decision-making. Through practical research and experimentation, we aim to achieve broad social impact.
The phenomenon-based approach and cross-cutting themes of our programmes are a particular strength in our work. We support encounters, competence development, and solution ideation at the interfaces between different sectors – precisely where significant societal changes often take place and new, bold initiatives are born.
