Our mission is to create positive social impact. We strive to understand contemporary, complex societal challenges and to contribute to their solution through our education and research. We do this in close collaboration with our external partners both locally and globally. We strive to contribute to solving social issues through excellent academic research. We do this with curiosity-driven research that is embedded in society and by actively engaging with local and global communities. We create impact in our education by training our students to be tomorrow’s ‘change leaders’ – in the public and private sectors, in their own workplaces and beyond. We strive to offer professional services that are needed to perform impactful core activities of our institution (education, research and impact). We are committed to having support staff who are able to be flexible to the increasingly diverse, demanding and ever-changing international environment.
