The Master by Research in Informatics is a two-year research education programme. We have a research direction towards virtual collaboration. Within these area of virtual collaboration crisis management and the technology enhanced learning domains are especially interesting.

The Master by Research in Informatics is a two-year research education programme leading to a Master thesis within the area of virtual collaboration.  The master students will work in cooperation with the research group Critical Information (CRIINFO).
