Xamk’s RDI focus areas:
This is what we aim for
Our goal is that in the counties of Southern Savo and Kymenlaakso
- At all ages, residents are becoming more and more active. They feel that they live a good life in the living and operating environments that support it and are supported by a sense of community. They are well equipped and able to use and participate in digital services.
- Forms of business and entrepreneurship to promote well-being are increasingly diverse and provide user-oriented services.
- The services utilise the latest technology and their effectiveness and responsibility are assessed on the basis of data. The information is utilized in management and development of operations.
- Skills and working life have been renewed and people have the opportunity for continuous learning and a good working life.
We aim to achieve these goals through about 50 research and development projects each year. Nearly 100 experts from different fields work on the projects during the year.
RDI projects also provide excellent learning places for our students. In addition to project co-operation, we are also happy to offer various expert services.
We promote service production and entrepreneurship that support the wellbeing, prerequisites for wellbeing as well as wellbeing of people in our regions.
