Aalborg University emphasises a combination of basic and applied research, which gives our research a unique character of dynamics and flexibility by combining academic disciplines and research traditions in new and often interdisciplinary ways. In this way, Aalborg University has managed to become at the cutting edge when it comes to research within information technology and health science technology.

However, important research of high national and international standard and significance is also conducted in several other areas throughout the University and covers a number of fields ranging from the Humanities and Social Sciences to Engineering, Natural Science and Medicine.
