Earning a doctorate is hard work and at times quite a solitary existence, often an uphill climb that stretches over several years. But what is it like to pursue a doctorate in music?
At the Swedish Society of Paper and Pulp Engineers' Ekmandagar on January 27, 2026, Elise Meurs, a doctoral student in chemical engineering at the Exact Industrial Research School, won the first prize in the prestigious presentation competition.
– The competition is conducted in Pecha Kucha format, a presentation format with 20 slides and only 20 seconds per slide, says Elise Meurs.
This format therefore places very high demands on both structure, timing and

Ana, what is the reason for your visit to Karlstad University and Geomedia?
– When FCT, the Portuguese research agency, presented an exceptional scheme with funds EC’s Recovery and Resilience Plan for mobility abroad, I immediately thought of Geomedia to finish working on the project’s book, and find a stimulating intellectual environment to develop my research further.

A number of computer science students have been recognized for their outstanding project work in the Software Engineering course. Two project works were recognized with diplomas: one for “best project work” and one for “best UX design”.
The goal of the project was to develop a web-based tool for event planning and communication. This tool will facilitate the management of both internal and external events and communicate news, etc.
