Our applied research makes the world a better place
At HAMK, we do research that meets the needs of the working world. Come and do research with us!
Our solutions are useful
We provide solutions for raw material production, the circular economy, sustainable construction and the built environment, and future skills and education. We have formed three research ecosystems around these themes together with our partners: SmartBio, SmartBuilt and SmartEdu.
We seek innovative solutions in partnership with businesses, industry, the public and third sectors, research and education organisations. Our hands-on projects and long-term research help companies to move forward in product development and contribute to vitality and competitiveness.
In these multidisciplinary ecosystems, we combine our high-level applied research expertise with the needs of a changing world.
SmartBio – Smart Solutions in Biotechnology
Our aim is to advance innovative and sustainable production of bio-based materials and circular economy.
SmartBuilt – Smart and Sustainable Built Environment
We create new solutions to promote sustainable construction and citizen-friendly and carbon-neutral built environments.
SmartEdu – Smart Future Education and Competences
We develop skills and innovate learning solutions together with working life and educational organisations.
Our multidisciplinary expertise
Our three key research ecosystems combine the expertise of all four of our research unit, HAMK Bio, HAMK Edu and HAMK Tech, into a multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary collaboration network. We also work closely with our educational programmes and with a unit for Research and Development of Higher Education Pedagogy.
Research Services and Infrastructures
Practical projects and long-term research carried out with us help companies advance in product development and promote vitality and competitiveness.
In addition, our research services and infrastructure, such as tools and equipment, promote research collaboration and strengthen the expertise of our partners and our area. Research collaboration with us also opens doors across Europe. Together with nine other universities, we belong to the European alliance RUN European University, through which we are expanding our research infrastructure network, for example.
