HSD compendium of research and intellectual capital

HSD has created a compendium of research and knowledge creation. The HSD compendium is designed to be a first step that introduces research interests and knowledge production within member schools, the aim being to increase awareness of the resources within HSD and with industry.

The compendium therefore ultimately aims to accelerate collaborative work between researchers of HSD member schools and industry.
