It also carries out RDI work in the corresponding fields and produces services to its clients. The themes that cut across Jamk’s strategy are the renewal and digitalisation of learning, the development of new business, sales expertise and entrepreneurship and the internationally acknowledged quality. These themes are implemented in all areas of Jamk’s activities and are developed by the entire UAS.
Additionally, specific focus areas and new rising fields have been selected based on the needs of the operating environment and Jamk’s as well as cooperation partners’ strong expertise. The expertise of Jamk and the cooperation partners gathered creates nationally competitive centres of excellence.
The focus areas are growing and known at the national and partly also at the international level. Each focus area has a significant education task, focused RDI activity and professional service activity.
