RYM Oy is reviewing its research strategy. Spaces that contribute to wellbeing in the workplace, smart use of resources for competitive advantage and a built environment that attracts investment are the new areas of emphasis of RYM’s Board of Directors. The objective is for companies within the industry to form collaborations focused on these spearhead areas in order to promote high-level, cross-disciplinary research.
“According to our estimates, these particular areas provide companies in this sector with the optimal circumstances for generating new international business opportunities through high-level research. That is, after all, the key objective of the SHOK concept,” emphasizes Ilari Aho, RYM OY’s Chairman of the Board.
Spaces contributing to wellbeing
The Land Use and Building Act requires us to construct safe and healthy buildings; but what if we were to raise the bar much higher than that? How do we create the kind of built environment that truly contributes to the wellbeing of its users? How can we create communal urban spaces? Stress and insomnia are becoming more prevalent in today’s societies; how can we create relaxing and reinvigorating spaces?
Learning is key to improving wellbeing. How can we construct and provide schools, homes and work environments that contribute to and inspire learning?
