Key partnership

Laurea’s key partnership is a paid partnership that engages the partner in extensive and systematic cooperation with Laurea’s various degree programmes. It can involve cooperation with students, research, development and innovation activities as well as business activities. The key partnership concept encompasses project and recruitment cooperation and a visibility package.

The aim is to expand and deepen Laurea’s partnership network to support the development of our competence areas and further enhance their effectiveness. At the same time, the aim is to activate the network more systematically, for example, with regard to RDI activities.
