HSD encourage constellations of researchers in research groups. The aim of the groups is to create clusters in the staff that can develop powerful research environments at the department. The idea is to develop research collaborations, write applications for external funding and for the staff to help each other to publish the research conducted. Applications for setting up a research group are sent to the research committee which prepares the matter before it is sent for decision to the head of department. All groups have a group leader.
