11 companies and organizations participated along with around 40 students.
"It was great to see so many people come and want to participate.
Karlstad University is calling on tech innovators to participate in the 1st Open Call of the 6G-PATH EU project. This initiative offers a unique opportunity for startups, and research institutions to develop and test next-generation Beyond-5G (B5G) and 6G technologies.
The Open Call features a track for “Infrastructure Extensions”, targeting entities that want to integrate enhanced technologies in one of the 6G-PATH infrastructures.
Karlstad University continues to solidify its position as a key player in the European research on Beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G mobile technologies. The Distributed Intelligent Systems and Communications (DISCO) group, part of the Computer Science Department, has secured funding for three exciting new projects.
On September 25, Karlstad University, together with Compare, companies, organizations, and students, gathered for this year’s Digital Competence Network Day (DICOND), with nearly 70 participants.
During the event, participants had the opportunity to meet and network with students in computer science and informatics, with the goal of creating new forms of collaboration and ensuring that the region remains competitive in the labor market.
"We want to strengthen cooperation
We are pleased to welcome our new PhD student, Emad Uddin, who will work on the Drive project, focusing on improving service quality in 5G and 6G networks through data-driven analysis.
The core of the project is to analyze network traffic over time using statistics and machine learning to make better decisions and adapt traffic based on the network’s status.
Karlstad University is now launching a new bachelor's program in computer science with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) that will start in the fall of 2025.
Karlstad University, together with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the European Data Protection Supervisor is hosting the hybrid conferences Annual Privacy Forum and IPEN 2024, September 3-5.
With over 400 participants, the conferences are expected to bring together privacy experts, engineers, lawyers, researchers, and policymakers from both the private and public sectors.
