Research impact for the benefit of the society
“I’ve never been afraid to ask companies to join my projects. They are usually open to different types of collaboration – it’s up to you to decide where you want to go.”
-Claudio Oliviero, Adjunct Professor, Production Animal Medicine, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine
“I would encourage all researchers to find the individuals or groups that will benefit from the research and to plan the research and the exploitation of its results together with them.”
-Jenni Spännäri, Researcher, CoPassion project, Faculty of Theology
“Those who do business collaboration have more scientific publications.”
-ETLA Report 2018
