Research Support

The AHK Research Centre ensures better preconditions for research and synergy via interchange, encounters and collaboration between students, researchers, lecturers/teachers and artists. Strengthening the network around research both externally (with, among others, knowledge institutions and social partners) and internally (within and together with our own study programmes) is also a key objective. The AHK Research Centre provides support in the fields of strategy and policy, professionalisation, subsidy/grant advice, quality assurance and assessments, dissemination and research communication.
