Areas of research
INTEGRATE is a core research group aiming at developing research-based and user-focused knowledge about coordinated assistance to enable integrated and coherent pathways to work for groups who struggle to find and retain a place in the ordinary labour market.

Preferred main research goals for candidates:

The research to be conducted in INTEGRATE is organized under five substantive headings. The candidates may choose any of the themes below for their contribution. 

- Integrated pathways into work: Key research questions are related to the mapping and analysis of trajectories of labour market inclusion, benefit receipt and use of a variety services provided by welfare state, e.g work integration programs, educational activity, and use of health care. 
- Integrating employers in the work inclusion efforts: Key research questions address the role of the workplace in work inclusion processes based on an understanding of the workplace as an arena for recovery, qualification and labour market integration. This includes the interaction of a coordinated support system, the workplace and the employer in inclusion processes. 
- Organizing integrated service provision: Key research questions concern the key organizational mechanisms that contribute to or hamper integrated services aimed at including marginalized groups in the labour market. The focus is on exploring inter-professional and inter-organizational coordination of pathways to work through analytical lenses from organizational theory. 
- Enabling individuals to manage illness or impairment: Key research questions relate to educational attainment, labour market participation, social participation and overall quality of life of young people growing up with long-term health challenges by developing and testing methods to support them and their families in managing these challenges
- Integrating users in co- creation of services: The overall research questions are how do we manage to reach workforce inclusion through co-creation of services? What kind of experiences do users and staff have in the project and what can we learn from this project about drivers and barriers for realizing the goal?
The candidates should address questions such as: Candidates taking a global rather than a national view is especially welcomed.
