Research
At NHL Stenden, we believe in the power of collaboration and innovation. From the heart of Northern Netherlands, we work with businesses, organisations and governments on smart solutions that strengthen shared prosperity in the region. Whether it concerns work, education, health, the environment or social cohesion, we bring people and ideas together to make a real impact. Through our practice-oriented research and innovative education, we challenge each other each day to think differently and simply take action. It’s how we learn from and with each other.
Research groups
Together, we can achieve more. Which is why our professorships are divided into research groups. Researchers, lecturers, students and partners in the field share their knowledge and expertise, looking beyond their own fields and therefore making the impossible possible.
Working together for shared prosperity
How do we contribute to a future-proof region? At NHL Stenden, we believe that collaboration and innovation are key.

Our programme Collaborating on shared prosperity is our guiding principle in this, and together with businesses, organisations and governments we impact four important ambitions.
