Research, Development and Innovation

“Success grows from expertise and people”

The needs of research, development and innovation activities (RDI) in Karelia UAS arise in practise from business and working life. RDI activity aims at the development and creation of new and already existing services, products, methods, facilities, processes and solving practical problems. Examples of RDI services are commissioned research, surveys and analysis, students’ practical work, final projects and different short and long-term co-operation projects.

Karelia University of Applied Sciences is a central part of the regional innovation ecosystem. As a competent and innovative partner we want to foster the success of the whole region. You, your company or community have a chance to benefit from our versatile and applicable know-how, networks and experience.
