– My research improves our understanding of how to strengthen the rights of children and better protect them in a digital setting, says Germaine Hillerström, who recently defended her doctoral thesis in civil law at Karlstad Business School.
The subject first piqued Germaine Hillerström’s interest when she read about children who - unbeknownst to their parents - had made digital purchases, which raises the issue of responsibility and the legal capacity of children.

An intense and eventful half-year is coming to an end – and there is much to be proud of. Recently, I had the privilege of leading the international conference, QUIS19 – The 19th International Research Symposium on Service Excellence in Management, in Rome. Over 275 participants from around the world gathered to be inspired and to discuss how research can help address the major societal challenges of our time – such as AI development and sustainability.

How can we understand autism and ADHD in a way that is grounded in the experiences of individuals who live with these forms of neurodivergences? Finding answers to this question is what motivates Hanna Bertilsdotter Rosqvist, newly appointed professor of social work at Karlstad University.

On 3–6 June, over 275 conference participants gathered in Rome to attend QUIS19 – The 19th International Research Symposium on Service Excellence in Management. This international conference, now considered the foremost in service research, has its roots in Karlstad – and began as an idea at the Service Research Center (CTF).
“QUIS was born at a time when services were gaining importance but still remained a relatively unexplored research field,” says Per Kristensson.

We are now approaching the end of yet another semester and entering the summer period. It is a good time to slow down a little, perhaps even pause for a moment and reflect on both individual and collective achievements.
Karlstad University has existed in its current form for a quarter of a century, but its roots go back much further.
Thomas J. Scheff, one of Karlstad University’s first honorary doctors, has passed away. The university is saddened by the news of his passing and honors his memory.
Bengt Starrin, professor emeritus at Karlstad University, became acquainted with Thomas Scheff in the 1970s and remembers him fondly.
A study done by researchers at Karlstad University shows that the parasitic larva of freshwater mussels can manipulate their host fish into swimming further upriver to habitats well-suited for when their adult selves.
“The greater upstream movement of infested host fish, particularly at the time of excystment, is the clearest indication of an extended phenotype [host manipulation] expressed by glochidia [parasitic larvae of freshwater mussels]”, says Sebastian Rock at Ka

A new research project has been launched to improve production efficiency and reduce resource consumption within the forestry industry.
– Sustainability is a central focus of the project, which aims to decrease energy and resource usage in the forestry sector, says Björn Sjöstrand, Associate Professor in Chemical Engineering.
