ABOUT US

MaU Innovation’s contribution is to help translate knowledge into practical use and ensure that research findings and socially beneficial ideas from Malmö University have the opportunity to be implemented in society, contributing to a brighter future.
Societal Benefit through Innovation and Mobilisation
MaU Innovation’s primary aim is to foster a more sustainable and equitable society. By collaborating with various societal stakeholders, we generate, share, and disseminate knowledge to understand, explain, and advance society. We support researchers, students, and staff at Malmö University who wish to apply their research or develop their ideas. Together, we convert research findings and ideas into methods, processes, products, and services that create value and address contemporary societal challenges.
Our governmental mission
In 2018, Malmö University was allowed to set up an Innovation Office. The Innovation Office is aimed at researchers, students, and other employees with the task of increasing the utilization of research-based knowledge. The government’s motivation for establishing Innovation Offices at Swedish universities is to make the utilization of research more efficient and thus contribute to creating benefits for society.
At Malmö University, MaU Innovation is responsible for carrying out the government’s Innovation Office mission.
