For researchers
RAAK-public
Lecturers and researchers from universities of applied sciences conduct practice-oriented research together with college professionals from the public sector. Together they arrive at knowledge and innovations that contribute to the solution of social issues. The results of the research also help to keep the education of universities of applied sciences current and contribute to the scientific knowledge base of the topic on which the research takes place.
A 'RAAK public' research
A 'RAAK public' research project focuses on a question from the public sector. In a consortium, universities of applied sciences and at least two public parties, possibly supplemented by one or more private parties, conduct research into practically applicable solutions to the question. Solutions may take the form of a prototype, a new working method or another applicable result. The research also makes a demonstrable contribution to the renewal of higher vocational education.
