Researchers
Use your expertise to meet a need in the field
Interface aims to develop research projects carried out between members of the UNIL community and practitioners in the field; representatives of associations, public institutions, citizens' groups, businesses, NGOs, foundations and cooperatives. These projects will provide some answers to concrete needs.
While respecting a rigorous, reliable and independent research framework, the projects supported will pursue objectives of social relevance and impact in society. Interface encourages the development of a certain type of research innovative, for which sources of funding and institutional support are lacking.
The financial and methodological support offered by Interface will help to strengthen a culture of partnership research within our university. The co-production of living knowledge, linked to our social, cultural, political and economic environment, will strengthen the participation of UNIL members in current and future societal transitions.
The benefits of partnership research
- Value your expertise and your work outside the traditional academic environment
- Experiment with new research methodologies
- Make your research relevant to society and the demands of the field
- Access new areas of research
