Research Associates and Partnerships

The collaboration we share with our Research Associates and Research Partners is something we hold in very high regard. These partnerships play a vital role in the strength and growth of our department’s research. Through their involvement, we are able to maintain and build upon the high standard of academic work that the Department of Information Science is known for. Their contributions, whether through joint projects, knowledge exchange, or broader collaboration, add significant value to our ongoing efforts and help us push the boundaries of what our research can achieve.

We are particularly proud of the following partnerships and collaborations we have developed over the past years of some of which the current ongoing since 2010, and are reflected on the following pages:
