Currently, we are seeking applications for a Professor of Innovation in the International Music Industry as well as a Professor of Sustainable Futures in Digital Media and Communications.

To a large extent, our research takes place in urban living labs that focus on the interaction between education, industry, government, public and the environment to work side by side on social issues. Our research affects internal and external stakeholders, while it also contributes to creating a sustainable, healthy, creative and inclusive society.
