CTF is one of the participants in the project IndBygg, which is run by Paper Province. The project aims to promote a green transition within the construction industry and, through collaboration, bring industrial wood construction to new heights.
To achieve the goals for sustainable development and create a fossil-free society, we need to develop the forest-based bioeconomy and use more wood as a construction material.

The purpose of the project is to provide knowledge of climate literacy based on empirical data to be used in school. The researchers have developed a theoretical model of what knowledge, abilities and attitudes constitute students’ climate literacy, hypotheses about what factors affect climate literacy, and how climate literacy can lead to a willingness to act in a more climate-friendly way.

SOL stands for School Development, Organization, and Leadership. Research within the SOL group at Karlstad University contributes to knowledge formation in these areas. Sometimes, knowledge formation alone is not enough; concrete actions are also needed to contribute to improvements in schools. Collaboration between researchers, teachers, principals, and other professionals in schools is a common feature.

The Swedish preschool is in a long-standing change from content-based focus to subject didactic teaching and learning environments, from children’s development in groups to a greater focus on children’s individual learning and development. Not least, new forms of distribution, responsibility and management of the work with the children have been implemented.

This has contributed to musical canons where important voices are missing.How may canonical traditions in music be challenged and expanded, from a gender perspective?
Digitalisation of teaching is a very broad field that touches on many subjects and spans across all stages of education. Collectively, we have much expertise in this area at Karlstad University, which gives us a unique scope. The scope of research in this area is closely connected to both teacher training and school practice.
