Engaged Research
Engaged Research enables research to have a better impact. Knowledge is not produced just for society, but instead, with the society and within the society.
The European University UNIC develops a framework and supportive systems for involving and engaging citizens, civil society, and public/city authorities in research and innovation. UNIC creates a truly European infrastructure for studying the questions and challenges of post-industrial cities.

City partners
The City of Oulu is the University of Oulu’s partner in the European University UNIC. It is dedicated to develop a dialogic relationship with its post-industrial city partners to address their questions, such as structural changes. In Oulu, they relate to the population growth and new opportunities in urban ecosystems. In post-industrial cities’ context, superdiverse people are considered a strength. In a smart city, knowledge management becomes a key approach, and the city is developed together with stakeholders.
CityLabs
CityLabs events address the challenges of changing cities through co-creation.
