Objective: promoting practice-oriented research
The objective of the RAAK SME grant is to promote practice-oriented research at universities of applied sciences, encourage knowledge exchange between universities of applied sciences and professional practice, and contribute to innovation in both professional practice and higher professional education.
A RAAK SME research project centres on a question originating from an SME. Universities of applied sciences, other knowledge institutions and at least six SMEs work together in a consortium to investigate solutions that can be applied in practice.
