Workshop on the Concept of Quality for Big Data

Research

2018.10.30.

The Faculty’s research centres are academic research and development laboratories which are based on cooperation between students and teachers. In many cases they were started before the Faculty was established in 2003 and as a result are rich in tradition. In addition to being permanent, the Faculty’s research centres are flexible and adapt quickly to change. Once a research and development project is over, the research centre’s focus will change or come to an end, and at the same time new research centres are created which examine the most current issues in various disciplines of the social sciences.

Although each research centre is run by one particular department, the groups are very much interdisciplinary in nature, as members come from various institutes and disciplines. The research centres have strong links with the international academic community, researchers and partner universities. The research centres also have links with the market, primarily through funding for vocational training and through cooperation agreements on providing internships.

Currently, each year on 11 groups carry out research or development work at our Faculty.
