Strategy 2030
We develop North Jutland in collaboration with you
Like the rest of Denmark, North Jutland is seeing major change.
Knowledge, learning and innovation are becoming increasingly important for the development of society. There is a need for everybody to take responsibility in the regional and global ecosystem of businesses, institutions and organisations that are working closely together to develop North Jutland at present and for
the future.
UCN intends to position itself strongly in the regional and national landscape, take responsibility and contribute to finding a way out of the dilemmas and challenges facing society. Together with our students and other stakeholders, we will find solutions and exploit potentials when it comes to the green transition, sustainability in a broad sense, defence and security, digital and technological developments as well as the well-being and health of children, young people and the elderly. This makes us a key player in society.
We fulfil this role first and foremost by educating and training competent professionals in a wide range of sectors. Competent professionals who can bring about change and help society move forward in both the short and long terms. But our role extends beyond education. Through research, innovation and development, we create new knowledge together with practitioners and professionals and activate it for the benefit of North Jutland.
This is all set out in our UCN Strategy 2030.
Our strategy has been refreshed and updated. We have revisited our vision to ensure alignment with our ambitions for the knowledge institution we want to be in 2030. Our mission remains the same: “We develop North Jutland in collaboration with you”. Keeping this mission in mind, we have developed new ambitions and goals, setting an even sharper direction for UCN as a key player in society.
UCN is committed to forging and maintaining strong relations. Strong relations with our students, our partners and North Jutland as well as national and international knowledge environments. These relations are at the heart of “in collaboration with you”. UCN is not a solitary player. We always work for and with
others.
The strategy is an open and sincere invitation to work with us. An invitation to undergraduate as well as post-graduate students, to business partners, to North Jutland and to the outside world.
We look forward to create impact in collaboration with you.
