Idébanksmedel
Since 2023, Karlstads universitets Innovation AB has been developing a model in which entrepreneurial students are matched with research ideas and innovations. The aim is to identify ideas with the potential for societal benefit and to give students the opportunity to further develop these alongside their studies, with compensation.
The initiative gives students a unique opportunity to put their knowledge into practice while increasing the chances that research results create value for society. With support from the Idea Bank funding, we contribute to innovation, entrepreneurship, and regional growth.
The selection of ideas is defined through the Grants and Innovation Office (GIO) and Drivhuset in Karlstad identifies suitable students. Project prioritization is decided jointly by researchers, innovation advisors, students, Drivhuset, and Kau Innovation AB.
