What does it mean to be a Mission-Oriented University?

At Aalborg University, we actively address global challenges through innovative approaches and close collaboration. We create knowledge in collaboration with the outside world, break down the complexity of mission projects and strive for sustainable solutions.

What does it mean to be a Mission-Oriented University?

We transform ideas into action
We will create a clear and structured method for generating projects in collaboration with external partners. Together, we will develop a project portfolio that will contribute to our joint missions at AAU. We will also ensure that there is funding for priority projects, and we will involve our students in the missions via their semester projects.

We value mission-driven research
We will create a culture in which we value mission-driven research and recognise it for the significant and important results that it creates or makes possible. This will include the creation of a new mission award for recognition of a research group that is showing the way to significant societal effects. In addition, we will disseminate awareness of the missions through targeted communication both internally at AAU and externally.

We create a clear structure and clarity
We will establish a clear joint framework for participation in the missions with broad organisational and managerial rooting. Mission concept and management are gathered and aligned to ensure that goals, time frames and deliverables are clear for all missions.
