Knowledge network
Today the IT development is progressing so rapidly that it is impossible to be at the cutting edge with the latest knowledge and technology at any time, and there are increasing demands to deliver products or a surplus within a very short time frame.
One of the keywords to the solution of this dilemma is knowledge sharing – both between research and the corporate sector and between companies. As a member of the Alexandra Institute you have access to a network of researchers and developers, who are working actively with research and development and who have knowledge of a broad range of areas within IT.
The knowledge environments can be used in several ways:
- Access to a large network of potential collaborators
Through the Institute you generally have access to a large network of potential collaborators that comprises both companies and researchers. - Access to the latest knowledge and technologies
Knowledge of a given area can either be found with researchers or companies in the network or other sources can be referred to. Besides a general knowledge you have knowledge of the latest technologies through the Institute and the possibilities that are within reach. - Cutting-edge competencies on an international level
The Alexandra Institute has prioritised a number of target areas where research is carried out on a high international level. Within these areas it will therefore be possible to establish an active collaboration with researchers. - Inter-disciplinary aspects
In recent years the development has far too often shown that a good technical solution is not necessarily enough to guarantee success. If you are to develop new innovative products it is essential to involve hard as well as soft disciplines. - Access to educational environments
The Alexandra Institute also acts a bridge builder in the educational field.- Dialogue about educations
Within the framework of the Alexandra Institute it is possible to enter a dialogue with the educational institutions about discussion of requirements for development and new initiatives within different forms of IT educations – this often takes place through establishment of work groups with representatives from the educational institutions and the companies. - Contact to students
In many cases student projects, master’s theses and PhD projects in connection with collaborative projects have proven an invaluable resource to a thorough uncovering of defined problems in the projects or a solution of concrete tasks for the companies. - Sparring about supplementary training
The Alexandra Institute offers advice about supplementary training – either through the qualifying educations, which are offered by the educational institutions or through the short-term research-based supplementary training courses, which are offered by the Alexandra Institute.
- Dialogue about educations
As a member of the Alexandra Institute you are a part of the above network. The Alexandra Institute organises a number of activities where it is possible to meet other members of the Institute. Furthermore various newsletters, magazines and websites are produced where you can stay informed. Finally you are always welcome to contact us via e-mail or telephone if you need further information.
