The shared vision of everyone involved in the Innovation and Product Realisation (IPR) domain of Mälardalen University (MDH) is to contribute to sustainable future development and industrial renewal by building on a holistic perspective that takes account of people, systems and global challenges in research and education.
The vision is being actively realised by a multidisciplinary research and education community consisting of researchers, teachers and doctoral students with diverse, synergistic scientific and pedagogical skills in the engineering sciences, social sciences, humanities and fine arts. This synergistic mixture of academic skills and practical knowledge enriches the research and education environment and boosts IPR’s ability to carry out research and education in co-production with industry and the surrounding community.
During the period 2017–2022 IPR will be concentrating on developing academic excellence, co-production and internationalisation, recognizing that these are strongly interlinked elements that are essential for realising and strengthening IPR’s research environment and holistic vision.
