    The project DRIVE invited companies to a joint workshop

    On November 20–21, the DRIVE project at Computer Science invited partner companies to a joint two-day workshop. DRIVE's overarching goal is to conduct research and education in data-driven and latency-sensitive mobile services for future mobile networks.

    This year, participants gathered at Karlstad University to learn about the latest research in the field. The workshop, an annual event within the project, provides opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, discussions on current topics, highlighting synergies between subprojects, and exploring future research directions. DRIVE is built on close collaboration between Karlstad University and seven partner companies.

    Karlstads University is now part of the one6G Association

    One6G is a non-profit association with over 100 academic and industry members. Karlstad University can use one6Gs network for establishing strategic collaborations and partnerships with other one6G members.

    – As one6G member, we can propose new or participate to existing joint research topics as part of one6G working groups. This gives the opportunity to collaborate internationally on different research topics in a flexible and research-driven manner, for instance towards joint publications, participate to one6G plenary meetings where research activities are discussed and gain strategic visibility in the 6G research ecosystem.
