We caught up with Ph D Student Miha Uratnik, University of Ljubljana, Slovenien, who is currently visiting CTF. Hello Miha, what brings you to CTF, and what kind of research are you working on right now?
- I am visiting CTF for two weeks to meet with Professor Per Kristensson, and other researchers at CTF. My research area is in service innovation with focus on customer relations (e.g. co-creation, co-production) and the role of social media.
Our main campus lies a few kilometres east of the city centre. The easiest way to get here is by bus or bike, but you can also take the train and, of course, go by car. We also have a campus in Arvika, where Ingesund School of Music is located.
