2.2 Research-based development assignment

In research-based development work, the main focus is on working life development, which is carried out with a research-based approach. It strongly combines concrete development activities with the application of research methods and the analysis of the data received. The starting point is a practical problem and questions emerging from working life that guide the provision of information in a practical operating environment.
