An increased connection to working life within higher education that has positive effects on several of the goals linked to Agenda 2030. An education model that increases cooperation between academia and industry. Approach and implementation: The project has three phases:

2. Implementation: the model is evaluated for at least two courses and at two universities and the students carry out the workplace-based learning at two companies.

3. Evaluation: continues throughout the project and is based on constantly evaluating efforts and processes, with the aim of being able to formalize a generic model that can be implemented in education.
