We work for regional growth
For us, interaction with the surrounding society is a natural part of our activities. The University of Gävle wants to contribute to growth and development of the whole region. Through interaction the range of education is adapted to the regional demand of educated staff. Through our research new knowledge is generated that contributes to innovations, new enterprises and new jobs. Exchange occurs in a number of ways. We serve the labour market with skilled staff, students practice at workplaces, researchers contribute with new knowledge and professionals from outside the university visit us as teachers, researchers and mentors.
