Our vision: RISEBA University of Applied Sciences aims to position itself as a leading regional entrepreneurial university with a strong and expanding international presence. It is recognised for delivering high-quality study programmes and applied research across its core areas of competence. The university’s interdisciplinary approach and active knowledge transfer promote academic excellence and generate tangible impact on business and society.
RISEBA’s long-term strategic research priorities are:
- a strong focus on applied research
- continuous internationalisation
- clear business relevance
These priorities are translated into the following research goals:
- engagement of researchers in impactful applied research, international cooperation, and co-authorship in international publications
- production of high-quality scientific outputs indexed in Web of Science and Scopus, with priority given to journals listed in AJG-ABS and ABDC
- increasing research impact through citation metrics and h-index growth
- generation and protection of intellectual property and know-how
- active involvement of students, graduates, and business partners in research
Scientific activities operate within a comprehensive framework that includes the RISEBA Research Strategy, Research Activities Regulation, Code of Ethics, Code of Academic Integrity, and internal policies such as the Academic and Research Personnel Policy, Regulations on Remuneration for Scientific Contribution, Conditions for Participation in Scientific Events and Publications, and provisions on Research Groups and the Scientific Committee.
Research implementation is systematically monitored by the Research Department and Lead Researchers heading the Strategic Research Directions, ensuring focus, quality, and measurable outcomes through annual evaluations. The framework safeguards academic freedom while aligning research efforts with the university’s strategic priorities. Each research area is led by an appointed Lead Researcher, responsible for organising activities, fostering international and industry collaboration, and reporting annual results.
