Research projects

Ourresearch projects provide new knowledge relevant to society, both for theresearch world and for decision-makers and public bodies as well as businessand community actors.

Most of our research projects combine qualitative and quantitative methods and data.

Ourresearch interests and projects are characterized by our close contact with localstakeholders, making the projects both relevant and application oriented.

Some research projects are formulated and conducted by us ourselves. In other projects, we engage in larger research collaborations and cooperations with national and international research institutions.

Synergy between research and analysis

Analysesand research projects at CRT enrich each other. The analyses are demand-driven and deliver application-oriented knowledge to relevant actors.

The interaction between analysis and research work gives us opportunity to follow and contribute to the newest knowledge trends, while its also allows us toplace current issues and knowledge needs within a larger, the oretical framework.

We can develop and combine methodological approaches that combine actor relevance with research relevance.

We connectqualitative and quantitative methods and data to both describe, understand andexplain patterns and changes in the work we engage with.

Knowledge fields build up over time

We work on a project-based basis. The societal agenda has shifted many times in CRT's 30-year history. Through our research projects, we have developed special fields of knowledge. This is reflected in our research projects, which in particular have contributed with knowledge on:

  • Business development, knowledge dynamics and innovation
  • Mobility, labour and education
  • Circular economy, tourism and destination development
  • Translocal perspective on local development
  • Energy and green transformation at local and regional level
