Research
The Faculty of Technology operates in all the strategical focus areas of research at the University of Oulu. Researchers have active collaboration with companies, research institutes and public sector. External funding forms more than half of the total budget of the Faculty.
Research communities
We participate in the global, national and regional enhancement of wellbeing through our seven research communities. The communities are cross-disciplinary and represent main research themes of the Faculty of Technology. Research communities serve as Knowledge Hubs for Academic Research, Business and RTOs.
Research Units
There are 12 Research Units at the Faculty of Technology. The units do high quality research in collaboration with various stakeholders and share the latest research knowledge for students in courses. In addition, research units collaborate actively with each other and have formed cross-disciplinary, wider Research communities (above) to promote discussion and development of new ideas with scientists of different fields and industrial stakeholders.
