For researchers

SDU Business Relations is a doorway from academia to industry, however it opens both ways. We pave the way to the outside, so that you may reach industry and to the inside, so that industry can find its way to you and your colleagues. We can help you find the right collaborators; we initiate new projects, map funding possibilities and keep you updated on the overall guidelines of SDU. During the process we will contribute with the overall framework, so you can concentrate on the contents. 

SDU Business Relations´services for SDU researchers:

• Scouting meetings:

  • 1:1 meetings where we offer our support in the activation of research results in the form of scientific collaboration projects with industry, research based courses for external participants or patent protection and commercialization. We always base our services on your needs.
