Collaboration

Our researchers collaborate with universities, organizations, research funders and with the surrounding community. Read about some of our collaborations here!

What is traditionally referred to as the third task in the university world includes many kinds of collaboration with the surrounding society, such as commissioned education, open lectures and other popular science activities, as well as commissioned research in the form of consultancy, analyses and investigations offered to external actors.

 

Auxilia - Commissioned research at the Archaeological Research Laboratory

The Archaeological Research Laboratory offers commissioned research to external actors in the form of advanced analyses and preparation of archaeological source material, investigations in the field and consultancy. The unique breadth and combination of specialist skills makes us one of the few players on the market who can offer customers both advanced analyses and a relevant archaeological interpretation of the results.
