Two institutions that are not content with simply sharing the same urban territory and going on about their business
The City of Malmö and Malmö University have collaborated for several years, including in the areas of research, education and in the field of culture. This week, however, they decided that there is a need to refresh the collaboration agreement and upgrade it in a way that can effectively serve the interests of both entities going forward.
The new agreement signed on 23 November and valid until 2024, defines four main areas of cooperation. It is a good example of partnership between public and academic institutions, which although working in different spheres with their own autonomy statutes, can often overlap in their ultimate goals.
The agreement will contribute to strengthening and structuring the ongoing cooperation and encourage and support new and in-depth cooperation between the two parties in the following spheres:
As is visible from the reported conditions in the agreement, research and higher education are meant to be the vehicles that will make the collaboration work and be effective. The agreement does not replace collaboration agreements already entered into between the parties. It should facilitate and encourage new ones.
“Malmö University and the City of Malmö face common and global societal challenges that we handle better together than separately. Through the new agreement, we can continue to work to ensure that research-based knowledge is useful in society in general and in Malmö as a city,” explained Kerstin Tham, Rector of Malmö University, on the occasion.
