The city-integrated university

Through an integrated and visible placement in Kalmar, exciting and unexpected meetings will become possible. Meetings between researchers and students, and between the industry and the public sector.

These meetings can lead to the birth of creative, innovative, and entrepreneurial ideas. A city-integrated university contributes to a lively city centre. Both the university and the surrounding society will become stronger through the natural meeting places that are created in connection to the university. These ideas contribute to development on a regional as well as on a national and international level.
