Collaboration

The department has an extensive and well-established network of collaborations with schools, sports clubs, associations, municipalities, authorities and other social actors. Through close collaboration in education, research and development projects, we create knowledge that is both based on and contributes to practical activities. Our collaboration initiatives range from practical research projects and operational development to knowledge dissemination, skills development and joint initiatives that strengthen the role of sport in society.

Student collaboration – a mutual opportunity

In order to contribute to developing skills for a wide-ranging labour market, we stimulate organisations to collaborate with our students in various forms. In our physical education teacher training programme, this takes place in the regulated form of work placements. 

We will tailor student collaboration to your needs, using various types of work placements and mentorship throughout the study programme, projects and degree project.

Contact collaboration coordinator Aage Radmann to discuss the possibilities.

Research

At the department, we do multidisciplinary and socially relevant research that focuses on sports, health, and exercise. Our research tackles current social challenges and adds new knowledge about the importance of sports for individuals, organisations, and social development. Using different perspectives and methods, we study issues related to, for example, learning, health, sustainability, leadership, inclusion and social change.

The department provides a dynamic and successful research environment with a wide range of specialisations and expertise, with an emphasis on social science sports research. Our researchers collaborate nationally and internationally and participate in projects that contribute to both scientific development and practical benefits. Together, we create knowledge that not only deepens our understanding of the role of sport in society, but also contributes to development in schools, the sports sector and other areas.
