Research areas

The research portfolio at CIP covers basic ‘blue skies’ research as well as applied research. In fact, most of the research we do defies simple categorization as either one or the other: working at the intersection of grundforschung and applied research is absolutely fundamental to the research ambitions of the centre.

It is often difficult to pigeonhole the work we do as belonging to one specific research tradition or area. Instead, we tend combine approaches and agendas from different fields in order to explore how internationalisation affects the university as an educational institution, as a research environment, as a workplace, and as a societal institution.

On the pages we link to below, we provide general accounts of our main research strands, but there is inevitably a certain degree of overlap between areas. Interested readers are encouraged to pursue the cross-references provided as a way of exploring connections between the different strands.
