Part of the purpose of the VME is to be a bridge between universities and industries. We're a space where experts from different fields gather to create innovative solutions and pilot projects. The VME is for all; start ups, industry partners, students and researchers alike. Whether you'd like to collaborate with us, conduct research or even just have a look around – welcome!
Project
The VME is an Interaction Design Environment for all; start ups, industry partners, students and researchers alike. We’re a space for like-minded people to gather, united by a passion for interaction design. Whether you’d like to collaborate with us, conduct research or even just have a look around – welcome! The first step to getting involved with us is to reach out to one of our friendly VME team. They can tell you more about the VME, answer your questions and help you plan a visit. We look forward to working together with you!
The project will create a new approach to meeting companies and students in connection with research and piloting of user interfaces, as well as a wide range of services to improve the learning, planning and development of the region and research. The range of services enables universities, businesses and researchers to operate across borders so that research work combines the real needs of companies for development.
In addition to the University of Vaasa, the project steering group includes Åbo Akademi, ABB, Visma and Wärtsilä
