Welcome to Øresund Science Region!
The build-up of knowledge is considered the most important economic growth factor in the years to come. Cooperation and integration between research, industry and the public sector are seen as the main instruments for developing successful growth spirals.
Øresund Science Region is an alliance between four regional and bi-national network organisations:
· Medicon Valley Academy
· Øresund IT
· Øresund Food Network
· Øresund Logistics
· Øresund Environment Alliance (associated member)
The main purpose is to promote innovation and growth through cooperation. Øresund Science Region has a solid base for development and unique possibilities globally speaking for success. We have 150,000 students and 14,000 researchers at the twelve member institutions of Øresund University; a large number of successful high-tech companies, small one-man upstarts as well as major international companies; a number of science parks - some of them amongst the biggest in Europe - and an innovation-oriented public sector.
Øresund Science Region is funded by the Foundation for Technology Transfer in Lund, the Danish Ministry for IT and Research and Øresund University as well as companies and research hospitals.
Overall aims:
· establishing state of the art scientific clusters and networks
· stimulating new knowledge within areas where ØSR is competitive on a global scale
· developing and securing an innovative environment and an efficient commercialisation structure
· global branding of Øresund as a high-tech region
· promoting integration across borders in the region (disciplines, academia, industry, the public sector, Denmark and Sweden, Øresund and the world).
· organising conferences and symposia
· promoting and initiating courses, PhD-programmes, summer universities and life-long learning.
Øresund University is a consortium of 12 universities in and around Roskilde, Copenhagen, Lund, Malmö and Kristianstad.
