Following the principles of open innovation, Nokia Research Center collaborates with world-class universities and research institutes around the world.
This open innovation network was officially opened in September 2007. The main collaborator is Tampere University of Technology.
NRC and various laboratories of Helsinki University of Technology work together on several joint research programmes.
NRC Cambridge US laboratory has established a deep collaboration with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This joint work focuses on a view of the future where small handheld devices will become part of an "ecosystem" of information, services, peripherals, sensors, and other devices.
NRC Pervasive Communications laboratory works on the basis of an open collaboration model with the two Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology: EPFL, and ETH Zürich. With this purpose, the laboratory is located in the campus of the EPFL in Lausanne.
