The purpose of this Code of Conduct is to contribute to a good working environment for all employees and students and to support our work on systematic quality development.
The students, enrolled in the Master of Science in Chemical Engineering Programme with a focus on forest bioeconomy, had the opportunity to visit Billerud Gruvön.
In addition to keep up with novel research ideas and methods, it is also important for researchers to seek opportunities for professional development in relation to their work.
In the last ten years, relatively large groups have entered the labour market. At the same time, most societal sectors have expressed a clear skills shortage. The next ten years are expected to be even tougher and competition for skilled employees will intensify.
This development will also likely be reflected in a growing demand for higher education, where we can expect increasing competition to attract students.
Researchers and doctoral students at Karlstad University can receive support, advice and funding opportunities for the development of innovative ideas. Just Contact The Grants and Innovation Office. There is also a similar support for other employees and students.
