Digitalization and GDPR have made management of personal data increasingly demanding for many organizations, as well as citizens. Last year there were reports on 2300 personal data incidents to the Swedish Data Protection Authority, of which one quarter concerned the public sector. In addition to legal and technical challenges, there are also questions on how value is created with personal data, and not least on whose terms.
This course is an introduction to business models and how business models can be used to gain a competitive advantage.
Course content
In this course we describe and explain business models and related theories, concepts, models and methods.
We explain, analyze and critically reflect on the use of business models in different forms of business operations.
We apply acquired knowledge to current challenges experienced by companies, organizations and society, with a speci
The autumn meeting of the EXACT industrial graduate school offered two days filled with discussions and workshops. This time, the theme was AI — its possibilities, but also its ethical aspects.
– It’s always a pleasure when the industrial graduate school can bring together PhD students, supervisors, and company mentors to discuss project progress, says Jörgen Samuelsson, Associate Professor of Chemistry and Director of the graduate school.

Protecting business networks is getting more and more important. But how well do firewalls actually do in protecting sensitive and confidential information? Configuring firewalls can be complicated, even for system administrators, and that can lead to security risks and opportunities for intruders.
Today, almost every company and their systems are connected to the Internet, thereby they are exposed to a huge number of threats.

Alexandre Sukhov is awarded the IMIT scholarship 2020, for his doctoral thesis "The human side of idea screening" and receives SEK 25,000.
"I am deeply honoured for the recognition and the acknowledgement of my research by the IMIT foundation. To me, this signals that my doctoral work is relevant and holds good quality, which is really nice to know after doing several years of research.
Through the intersectional turn, issues of racism and antiracism become crucial in feminist research and activism. Understanding the centrality of different experiences of racism has added to a transformation of the field of gender studies, in a variety of aspects: epistemologically, theoretically, methodologically and politically.

Organic solar cells have great potential in renewable energy, however their long-term stability and operational lifespan are challenges.
Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) are at the forefront of next-generation renewable energy technologies, due to their lightweight, flexibility, transparency, and potential for low-cost production.
The project is funded by the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.
Main objectives:
To understand the role of the molecular interactions in polymer-polymer de-mixing during thin film formation, by monitoring it in-situ, imaging it at scales from nano- to micrometers, and modelling its dynamics.
To understand how molecular interactions can be manipulated by external stimuli with the goal to manipulate morphology.
To rationalize and optimize morphologies for optical a

This PhD project focuses on academically gifted students’ relation to physical activity during compulsory schooling years. All students spend a large part of their childhood in school settings, which is an important arena for children’s learning and development. All children, and thereby students, should have the opportunity to be physically active in school settings based on their individual needs and abilities.
Doctoral programme in Chemistry at Karlstad University
PhD studies in chemistry are given with five specializations at Karlstad University: analytical chemistry, biochemistry, physical chemistry, materials science, and chemistry education. Chemistry as a subject includes the study of basic and applied processes at the molecular level.
Professor "Parsu" Parasuraman is visiting CTF at the end of this week.
On Thursday he will give a seminar at CTF on the theme "?Importance and Impact of Programmatic Research: Insights from My Service Research Journey". ?
On Friday he will be the faculty opponent for a dissertation with PhD Student Poja Shams. The dissertation "What Does it Take to Get your Attention?" is on the choices you make in stores. Read more about the dissertation here.
