Research centres and networks
The Department of Service Studies is part of several interdisciplinary research centers and networks. What characterizes these platforms is that they work as gathering points for researchers and practitioners, stimulating research and dialogue across boundaries – both within the academy and in the surrounding society.
Centre for retail research
An interdisciplinary centre of excellence in retail research. With active researchers from a range of disciplines, including ethnology, engineering and logistics, marketing and management.

Centre for retail and logistics (REAL)
Retailing and logistics are undergoing major changes that place new demands on the industry and on the knowledge of professionals and researchers. To meet these new needs, Lund University bring together research and education in an internationally competitive centre. The centre will build on the education and research already carried out at the university and on the Helsingborg campus, and take advantage of the uniqueness of the surrounding area.

Public Sector Innovation
The public sector includes health care, care of elderly and children, education, judicial system, national defense, public transport and infrastructure – areas that face complex challenges. As demands from citizens increase and resources decrease, innovation is usually highlighted as a strategy to find the solutions required.
Within the framework of the research theme, a research hub – the Centre for Public Sector Innovation – is set up at Campus Helsingborg to bring together cutting-edge expertise in the field. The goal is to create a unique "hub" for researchers who will work with research, commissioned education and collaborations focusing on innovation in the public sector.
