Would you like to gain a deeper understanding and knowledge of the logic of value creation in practice, and how you can create value for customers and increase competitiveness and profitability in various types of businesses? Then this course is for you!
Why is primary health care utilization per person almost twice as high in for example the Stockholm region compared to the Östergötland region? The difference in health care utilization between Swedish regions is large and has increased over time.

Hello and welcome to the #WPRnetwork - an international network of scholars from a broad range of disciplines who are using Carol Bacchi's "What's the Problem Represented to be?" (WPR) approach to policy analysis.
Today, the Swedish Innovation Index 2020 is released, and Ikea is - for the third year in a row – ranked as Sweden's most innovative company. Systembolaget has advanced the most in innovation capacity.

We would propose a back-to-back panel, from the Global Gender Matters (GGM) Network, based at the Department of Gender Studies, Lund University. We are an interdisciplinary group of scholars, who work on multiple scopes and scales of empirical and theoretical frameworks on local and global issues through a gendered and feminist lens.
We work within the paradigm of a circular forest based bioeconomy using a system analysis perspective.
The research group Water-Energy Nexus at Karlstad University contribute to a circular forest based bioeconomy by upgrading low-value sidestreams to raw materials, which are then used for production of useful materials and energy carriers.
Our vision
We research biomaterials using a systems perspective to enable resource efficiency.
Our mission

On December 3, Karlstad Business School at Karlstad University organised the annual Sustainability Day, available for students and the general public.

The aim of the project is to identify what constitutes epigenetic literacy and based on that develop and research the effects of a teaching module for the implementation of epigenetics in school biology.
On 1 January Karlstad University launched three research and development projects as part of Academy for Smart Specialisation, a partnership between the university and Region Värmland aiming to renew regional industry and strengthen research.

On March 27-29, the Swedish research school of Management and IT (MIT) held the 2019 Spring Conference at Karlstad University, hosted by CTF, Service Research Center and Karlstad Business School.
The group´s research is focusing on processing of raw materials with biological origin, which can be further processed into a large number of technically useful products.
The research encompass coating and printing process technology, rheological behaviour of coating materials, barrier technology and performance in converting and packaging, modelling of mechanical behaviour and mass transport performance of coating layers, renewable materials utilization and performance
Welcome to CTF seminar, please note that the seminar is internal. Martin Schreier, Professor, University of Vienna will hold a seminar.Title “To encourage sustainable behavior make it fun”(The seminar will be held in English).For more information please contact charlotta.andersson@kau.se

Last week, fifty ambassadors came to visit Värmland with the purpose to get to know the county, visit local enterprises and make new contacts. The first stop during the visit was at Karlstad University where the university’s two excellent research environments, CTF, Service Research Center and Computer Science presented their research.
The ambassadors visit one county in Sweden every year, and this year the trip went to Värmland.

Old sewer pipes that break down may cause a lot of damage. In the worst case, leaking water erodes the soil and this may result in sinkholes. Now researchers at Karlstad University have created a mathematical model to calculate the corrosion of sewers. This is important in selecting materials for future sewer lines.
Before creating a new type of sewer pipe that needs to function for decades, the user has to be able to obtain an estimate of the rate of corrosion.

Linda Bergkvist and Charlotte Bäccman at CTF, Service Research Center at Karlstad University, have studied clients, healthcare personnel, IT personnel and healthcare managers in Swedish and Norwegian municipalities in order to create a better understanding of challenges in implementing digital assistive technology.
The study is published in the anthology "Management and Information Technology after Digital Transformation" and shows a complexity where different actors hav
