CBS is open for a cooperation between a majority of the universities around Copenhagen

YES to a broad cooperation with a majority of the universities around Copenhagen.

A number of possibilities exist for CBS to contribute in close cooperation with other universities and government research institutions to the development of world-class research environments in specific areas with attached elite programmes, and CBS will be able to strengthen innovation competencies regionally as well as nationally by engaging in a broader cooperation.

NO to a MIT solution

However, a close cooperation such as the mentioned MIT model would make it difficult to utilize and develop synergetic possibilities to the extent that it will be beneficial to establish a world-class university environment and under no circumstances under the current conditions in relation to resources. The success of MIT is to a great extent based on conditions that do not exist in Denmark making the model less relevant.
