CRE8® is a model for innovation-challenge events, developed by the Grants and Innovation Office at Karlstad University. A public or private organization provides a real-world operational challenge to which teams of students try to find solutions. Since it was first introduced in 2017, the CRE8® model has become a very successful concept. With funding from Erasmus+, Karlstad University is now training facilitators to run CRE8® events around Europe.
... you have participated in two research events this summer, tell us about it?
- At the beginning of June, we traveled to Italy for the 8th Naples Forum on Service. It is a research conference that gathers service researchers from all over the world every other year to present and discuss research in service dominant logic, service science and systems theory and complexity theory, says Amie Gustafsson, PhD student in Business Administration.

On 26 June – 30 June 2017, Karlstad University organises a summer school with a focus on the control and management of network traffic and latency linked to future network services in multiple cloud-based environments.
Internet services are becoming a greater part of our daily lives and the more complex the service, the higher the demands placed on the systems and networks behind the services.

There are two degree pathways at master level: Master of Arts Degree 60 ECTS credits (one year) or 120 ECTS credits (two years). Both provide ample introduction to the basics of research through courses and academic writing opportunities. The 60-credit Master gives eligibility to doctoral studies at Karlstad University and at other universities in Sweden, while the 120-credit Master is a concluding professional education in comparative literature.
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

We caught up with Ph D Student Miha Uratnik, University of Ljubljana, Slovenien, who is currently visiting CTF. Hello Miha, what brings you to CTF, and what kind of research are you working on right now?
- I am visiting CTF for two weeks to meet with Professor Per Kristensson, and other researchers at CTF. My research area is in service innovation with focus on customer relations (e.g. co-creation, co-production) and the role of social media.
In terms of socioeconomic, cultural, and geopolitical perspectives, the Spanish-speaking countries are highly relevant. If you are a student in a programme focused on for instance economy, law, engineering, music, dance, culture, social science, or the humanities, our courses can be a valuable addition to your course of study and enhance your competence.

A large-scale study reveals that Swedish teenagers who spend a lot of time playing video games excel when it comes to knowing many words in English. Compared to their non-gaming peers, the gamers score significantly higher for particularly difficult words. The study also concludes that the time played is more important than the type of game played for predicting vocabulary scores.
Do you struggle with constant lack of time, difficulties to organize and prioritize and getting things done? Or are you just curious and want to learn more about how we can manage time.

The Department of Human Geography offers doctoral studies in three different forms: as part of the subject itself with a general syllabus, or through the Graduate School of Region Building, which has a special syllabus in line with its profile, or, as a third alternative, through the licentiate graduate school for teachers, and in that case with a syllabus focused on Human Geography with a specialisation in Geography Education (CSD-FL) – see the webpages for doctoral education and graduate schoo
Swedish schools often receive criticism for failing to provide optimal stimulation for pupils who have no problem achieving the learning objectives. There is a need for in-depth knowledge about gifted pupils and the government therefore recently tasked the National Agency for Education with mapping out needs and developing initiatives for the education of gifted pupils.
