Research Without Borders

Academic research plays a vital role in achieving this mission, which is why SBE’s research is built on the following three core values:

1. We combine fundamental and applied research to advance scientific knowledge and practice.
2. We carry out transdisciplinary research to address complex societal problems.
3. We conduct research that is internationally oriented with a solid base in the region.  

Accordingly, our mission statement for research is as follows: SBE’s research mission is to produce both fundamental and applied research, which is transdisciplinary and internationally oriented, in order to address complex societal problems and contribute to the global knowledge society.  You can find a more in-depth explanation of our core research values and more in the SBE Research Mission and Values document.
