CBI has strong connections with Chalmers University of Technology; Division of Innovation Engineering and Management. Researchers who work within the framework of CBI are employed by Chalmers University. As a platform for research and business development, CBI is thus the main focus for the employees at the Division. The Division also has teaching assignments and all senior researchers and doctoral candidates are involved in undergraduate, masters and graduate education at Chalmers, which we as a research group are committed to delivering. By the beginning of 2011, the group has expanded to 13 people, including temporary project workers and close associates.
