Martin Biörklund, what made you choose the Law Programme at Karlstad Business School?
- I was born and raised in Karlstad. When I moved back after studying in Gothenburg, I decided that I wanted to become a lawyer and, by chance, Karlstad University had just established its own law programme.
What were your expectations for the degree programme – and did it live up to your expectations?
- When I was in Gothenburg, I studied the first year of a programme in engineering at Chalmers.
Computer Science at Karlstad University is part of a new project where the Internet Foundation (IIS) and Netnod are gathering operators, technicians and other stakeholders in order to take a common approach in defining Internet access. The purpose is to make it easier for users and service providers to be aware and agree upon what is expected of the access one is paying for.
More and more aspects of society are increasingly dependent upon a stable Internet connection.

- Visual regimes of urban platformization: aesthetics, glitch, communication
Friday, 7 October, 14:00-15:30
Live on Campus or on Zoom (link will be sent out)
Abstract
In this talk, I engage with the visual regimes of urban platformization as an emergent and crystalizing logic in cities. Drawing on a range of empirical instances from North American cities, I situate and trace urban platform visualities in three registers: aesthetics, the glitch, and communication.
Preschool teacher profession and Swedish preschool - restructuring in a time of reduced birth rates and financial cuts
2025-2029
“Stop it” - do you really need all the preschools you are planning?" This is the call in the fall of 2024 from the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SKR) to municipalities planning new preschools.

MOBILE GEOMEDIA AND AUTOMATION
Mobile geomedia services shot to prominence from around 2007 onwards, with the arrival of smartphones, the integration of GPS into these devices, and the development of maps and navigation apps, as well as location-based mobile social networking apps.
These developments were significant at the time in that they permitted smartphone users to interact with existing local information and create locally relevant information that they could share with others (includin

Doctoral programme in English at Karlstad University.
PhD studies in English may be pursued with a specialisation in linguistics or literature, and admitted PhD candidates have the opportunity to design their dissertation projects within either of these subject areas. Thirteen PhD degrees have been awarded since 1999, when English was approved as a doctoral discipline.
The PhD programme in English is largely designed individually.
The research on more energy efficient paper manufacturing processes – headed by Björn Sjöstrand – was selected for the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences’ (IVA) the 100 list of 2023.

Through close collaboration between the disciplines of law and information systems at Karlstad Business School, students can now specialise in legal tech.
– We have a unique advantage in that it’s natural for us to work together across disciplines. This enables us to offer students cutting-edge training, says Cyril Holm, docent in law.
The studies are demanding, fast-paced and challenging, as the courses are interdisciplinary and taught in English.
History of Ideas concerns how our conception of the world and cultural performances have been formed and how they have influenced people throughout the ages. Study in this discipline provides a broad education and places many of today's current issues in a broader context. In the History of Ideas, one learns to think independently, through a dialogue with other people of other times and cultures.
Research data can be shared or disseminated in different ways. This often happens informally between colleagues or research partners. If research data is available via data repositories, others can find, reuse and cite the data.If data contains personal information, and particularly sensitive data, this may affect possibilities to make it accessible.Remember that documentation should be as extensive as possible to facilitate assessment and reuse of data. File formats must also be considered.
A virtual paper-making machine makes it possible to test run and optimise operations without costly downtime in the industry. New research at Karlstad University saves money and spares the environment.
”It is now possible to run the paper-making process virtually, without expensive equipment, to identify the optimal settings for each machine,” says Björn Sjöstrand, who recently submitted his doctoral thesis in chemical engineering at Karlstad University.
