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

How should research and innovation for a green transition based on the forest as a common resource be promoted? This is the starting-point for the three-year Interreg project ”Innovation for green transition in the forest”, a cooperation project between Karlstad University, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences and a number of other partners.
Renewable materials and biomass should be used sustainably in a circular cycle to guarantee supply, regional development and growth in the area.
Our firm belief is that long life-time of products is guaranteed by defect free manufacturing and advanced microstructure control in the production. One of the most important parameters for advanced steels are their mechanical properties in terms of wear resistance at different temperature, fatigue properties, tensile and fracture toughness.

Digital Geographies of Hope
Tampere, Finland, 20-22 September 2023
In the current world of precarity, uncertainty and violence, digital media technologies and datafication have produced complex new forms of spatial and temporal connections, interactions and power dependencies. Digital media technologies are immersing in growing areas of urban environments, everyday practices and experience.

Roughly 50 students and professionals in the IT industry met at this year's kick-off meeting for the mentoring program on 19 February. Expectations in the air among both novices as mentors.
Katarina Groth, a teacher of informatics, holding this year's mentoring program. She informed about the framework and gave tips for a successful mentor-mentee relationship.
- Being a mentor is to be an interested and good listener and be open to sharing their experiences.
As a doctoral student there is much information that is useful for you to know. On this page we have collected many helpful facts concerning different areas of being a PhD, like supervision, departmental duties, individual study plan, etc., with links to each topic if you want to know more.
Supervision
Doctoral students are entitled to supervision and are meant to have at least two supervisors, one of whom should be the principal supervisor
The music industry spends a lot of resources on creating innovative concert experiences, and the relationship between the musicians and their fans. With the show Abba Voyage, a giant step is taken towards developing and transforming an already digital industry.
The ambition of earlier strategies has mainly been to promote collaboration between the subject of History and other disciplines at doctoral level, locally at Karlstad University as well as nationally and internationally. This is still centrally important for the subject. The research profile of the subject comprises two main specialisations, channeled primarily through research conducted at The Centre for Regional Studies (CRS) and The Centre for Social Science Education (CSD), respectively.
During the upcoming Olympic Games, athletes from all over the world gather after years of preparation to perform their lifetime results. However, burnout among athletes is a growing problem, not least at the elite level. A new article by three researchers clarifies the causes of this, consequences, and how to prevent burnout.
Several studies have shown that burnout appears when an athlete feels physically tired and emotionally drained by their training and competing.

The capacity of local civil societies to provide missing services and contribute to sustainable
community building lies at the core of discussions on the future of rural areas in Sweden.
Systematic and theoretically informed empirical studies of the roles and possibilities of local
civil societies to partake in community building in rural contexts are however lacking.

Andrea Pető, Professor of Gender Studies and historian at Central European University, Vienna, Austria
Andrea Pető is a historian and a Professor at the Department of Gender Studies at Central European University, Vienna, Austria, a Research Affiliate of the CEU Democracy Institute, Budapest, and a Doctor of Science of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.
Her works on gender, politics, Holocaust, and war have been translated into 23 languages.
Computer Science – Committed to excellence in computer networking, security and privacy, and software engineering.
Computer Science is the study of both the theorethical and the practical aspects of software development. In Karlstad, the education as well as the research are mainly focused on computer networking, distributed systems, computer security and software engineering.
Education
Teaching is carried out at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.
The cocktail of man-made chemicals that we are exposed to daily is a health risk which current regulations and risk assessment overlook. This is the conclusion of the EU Horizon 2020 EDC-MixRisk project that is now being presented.
We are exposed to a large number of man-made chemicals in our everyday life. This creates combinations of chemical mixtures, to which we are subjected during our whole lifespan.
