    How 6G can transform healthcare education

    The 6G-PATH project (6G-Pilots and Trials Through Europe), involving both Computer Science and Nursing recently presented its technology to an audience during a fully attended seminar.

    The aim of the project is to advance education in health and medical care by using communication technologies such as 5G and 6G, combined with Extended Reality (XR) and Virtual Reality (VR).

    The goal is to make healthcare education more realistic and flexible, for example through VR and remote training where simulators and equipment can be used outside traditional classrooms. The technology can also support healthcare personnel in acute situations by allowing experts to join remotely.

    DAMI Day 2025 – Innovation and Collaboration for a Sustainable Industry

    On October 21, Karlstad University hosted DAMI Day – a day that brought together researchers and companies to explore how digitalization can drive sustainable industrial development. Under the theme “Sustainable Industry Through Innovation Together”, the event offered inspiring presentations, networking opportunities, and discussions about future challenges.

    Digitalization is one of the biggest transformations facing industry today. DAMI, the research center for Digital Adaptive Manufacturing for Industry, works to create practical solutions by bridging academia and business. The goal is to build networks and make the industry of the future smarter, more adaptable, and more sustainable.

    Autumn Meeting with AI Theme

    The autumn meeting of the EXACT industrial graduate school offered two days filled with discussions and workshops. This time, the theme was AI — its possibilities, but also its ethical aspects.

    – It’s always a pleasure when the industrial graduate school can bring together PhD students, supervisors, and company mentors to discuss project progress, says Jörgen Samuelsson, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Director of the graduate school. Our autumn and spring meetings are important opportunities to exchange experiences and discuss ongoing research. It’s also a chance to talk about shared challenges in doctoral work, and this time we focused on AI.

    How do we achieve a more sustainable digital society?

    Digitalization is growing rapidly, and we are more connected than ever. This development is driving up energy consumption, while at the same time the EU is imposing new requirements for lower energy use. Within the DRIVE project, research is being carried out to find solutions to this challenge.

    By 2030, the 6G network is expected to be rolled out. 6G, the sixth generation of mobile communication networks, is based on advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning. A central focus of 6G is sustainability, with the goal that the technology will serve as a tool to promote the UN’s global goals. In a way to meet these goals researchers in DRIVE have tested new ways of managing IoT devices* that measure air quality and monitor machinery. These devices are often placed in hard-to-reach locations where battery replacement is costly and environmentally problematic.

    Computer Science theses presented at EPiCS

    On May 27, computer science students presented their theses to an open audience that included companies, faculty, and fellow students.

    The new format, where students give presentations of their theses, was introduced under the name EPiCS. It featured over 30 presentations held in three parallel sessions. The day concluded with a dinner in Building 21 in the evening.

    One of the presentations was given by students Rasmus Melin and Simon Andersson. Their work on network measurements to improve the traffic analysis protection service DAITA attracted a full room of attendees.

    Research project wants to create sustainable rural ecosystems through place design

    - With this project, we want to help lay the foundation for an ecosystem that supports collaboration between industries and sectors. The objective is to create synergies and boost the competitive edge of the companies and the appeal of rural locations, says Lotta Braunerhielm, docent in Human Geography at Karlstad University.

    Lotta Braunerhielm, please tell us about the project
