Research Centre for the Study of Professions

We explore, develop, and expand the understanding of professions, professional education, and the connections between them. Through research and high-quality development, we contribute to driving change in contemporary challenges related to professional education and practice. Our research on professions is interdisciplinary and organized into four programs, each with its own research profile.

Research programmes

Professional education and professional formation

We conduct research on professional education and professional formation at the intersections, interactions, and transitions between theory, practice, education, and work.

Professional didactics and guidance

We work with research and development related to professional learning in professions and education, as well as professional guidance.

Knowledge and values in professional practice

We work with knowledge and values in professions, professional education, and professional practice.

Transformations in professions and educations

We engage with desirable futures for professions and their educational programs, with transformations as the focal point.
