Partnerships

At Lapland University of Applied Sciences (Lapland UAS), we collaborate closely with organisations across a wide range of sectors. These partnerships create mutual value through knowledge exchange, innovation, and shared development.

Working together with our partners enables us to respond effectively to changes in the operating environment. Our practice-oriented education and impactful research, development and innovation (RDI) activities are built on trust, long-term cooperation, and a shared commitment to creating value.

Four Levels of Collaboration

Organisations can engage with Lapland UAS in different ways depending on their needs and objectives. A company or organisation may work with us as a:

  • Customer
  • Development Partner
  • Contractual Partner (national or international)

Contractual Partnership

When organisations share a common vision for the future and their strategic goals align, there is a strong foundation for extensive and rewarding collaboration.

A contractual partnership is a planned, systematic and long-term form of cooperation that benefits both parties. The purpose of the partnership is to support the strategic objectives of each organisation while creating opportunities for sustainable growth, innovation and competence development.

Partnership agreements are concluded for a three-year period and provide a framework for ongoing collaboration.
