We invite you to cooperate
In order to implement the provisions of the VIKO Higher education institution Strategy 2021-2025, which is focused on sustainable change, the Science Workshop is open for active partnership with groups of business and public organizations:
- business enterprises and their associations,
- non-profit organizations and their associations,
- community organizations,
- trade unions,
- state and municipal institutions, etc.
How does the Workshop work?
Typically, the interaction between a representative of a business or a public organization (the social partner (sponsor) of the applied research) and the Science Shop starts with a discussion of the problem for which the students’ applied research is needed. Once the research object, aim, objectives and methodology have been identified, a team of students is formed and an experienced teacher (researcher) from the Faculty is appointed to supervise the team. In the search for a solution to the problem, the research applies existing or generates new scientific knowledge, which is presented by the research team to the sponsor in a report.
