Research

The Jantina Tammes School encourages collaboration between researchers from different faculties and institutes at the University of Groningen and between researchers and regional, national and international partners from society, both public and private, and with members of the public.

The operationalisation of the JTS research & innovation strategy will result in the organisation of thematic interest groups, networking events, interdisciplinary research etc.. These activities will be complementary to existing (faculty) structures. These groups and events will partly be open for stakeholders from outside the University.

Research domains

The Jantina Tammes School works on both large and small projects, in corporation with large international industries as well as small or medium sized local businesses. Our goal ‘digital prosperity for all’ is not limited to one focus group or specific type or size organisation.

Generally, we focus on three types of research:

• Consortium projects – large projects in cooporation with industry, other businesses, government, research and innovation parties, education institutes or multiple faculties of the UG.
• Phd projects - defined pieces of original research by a PhD student to earn a doctoral degree, guided by supervisors from different faculties and backgrounds.
• Seed projects – smaller and defined projects with input from different faculties.

All our research projects transcend faculties and disciplines. Experts and students from various backgrounds and organisations are involved. The Jantina Tammes School does not replace these faculties but brings a plus with organising interdisciplinary research.
