OMAR (The Arena for Collaboration) is a VINNOVA-funded project involving participants from the University of Borås, University West, Lund University, SLU, Jönköping University, Halmstad University, and Kristianstad University. The University of Skövde leads the project. OMAR is part of a series of similar collaboration-focused projects funded by VINNOVA.
The general purpose and goal of OMAR are to develop knowledge about arenas and success factors for collaboration platforms within an external context, focusing on evidence-based perspectives on the external environment. The project, in partnership with external collaborators, aims to strengthen the collaborative capacity of the participating higher education institutions and further develop their existing platforms.
