The integration of research activities in universities of applied sciences (UASs) has led to the transformation of these universities into organisations with two primary processes: research and education. Although many believe in the benefits of combining research and education in one organisation, which is referred to as synergy in this study, research–education synergies have rarely been empirically investigated, particularly in the UAS context. Thus, this research investigates the intended synergy between the research and education of UASs by conducting a document analysis of their university-wide strategic policy. The findings show that UASs aim for synergies among people, UAS organisations and outside UAS organisations, with a focus on education-oriented synergies. This study provides an initial understanding of the strategic aims of UASs considering research–education synergy. The findings provide direction and a framework for future research and form a base for making explicit strategic choices for research–education connections in universities.

相互促进还是单向：荷兰应用科技大学研究与教育之间的预期协同作用

应用科学大学（UAS）研究活动的整合导致这些大学转变为具有两个主要流程的组织：研究和教育。尽管许多人相信将研究和教育结合在一个组织中的好处（在本研究中称为协同作用），但研究与教育的协同作用很少经过实证研究，特别是在无人机系统背景下。因此，本研究通过对大学范围内的战略政策进行文件分析，调查了无人机系统研究和教育之间的预期协同作用。研究结果表明，无人机系统旨在实现人员、无人机系统组织和无人机系统外部组织之间的协同作用，重点是以教育为导向的协同作用。这项研究提供了对考虑研究与教育协同作用的无人机系统战略目标的初步了解。研究结果为未来的研究提供了方向和框架，并为大学研究与教育联系做出明确的战略选择奠定了基础。
