Research and development
Laurea research programmes
Laurea research programmes bring together research, development and collaboration around current themes. We offer companies and organisations opportunities to develop new solutions and business together with experts, students and partner networks.


Coherent security
Our security research programme addresses current global security challenges such as hybrid threats, maritime and border security, cybersecurity and the protection of critical infrastructure.

Sustainable and diverse social and health sector
Our research programme strengthens inclusion in society and takes into account ethical aspects, multidisciplinary collaboration and future needs in social and health services.

Service business and circular economy
We offer companies and organisations opportunities to develop responsible and sustainable operations.
Three current research programmes
Laurea’s research programmes focus on security, the development of the social and health sector, and sustainable business. The research programmes are supported by four cross-cutting themes that highlight Laurea’s expertise and competence.
Alongside the research programmes, research teams composed of experts work.
