The schedule is continually updated and subject to change. Last updated 2016-12-15. Seminar materials are normally distributed via the KuFo and ISLI mailing lists.
Is an app the right way to guide visitors to the central Hospital in Karlstad? A new research study will try to provide an answer to that question. The study is a breakthrough for research in real location within DigitalWell.
The methodology is developed at Karlstad University and for the trials a prototyping system called Ozlab is used.
“It looks like an app but is controlled by a real person.

As of Autumn 2020, there was a new model in place for UPE’s courses for university teachers. We now offer more courses but each course is less comprehensive. It will also be up to the individual teacher and his/her supervisor to choose the courses that are most relevant in their particular case.
UPE’s mission is to provide excellent, relevant training and thus support teachers in doing their job.

Patricia Saenz Mendez came to Karlstad University in 2020, in the midst on the pandemic. A rather strange start, but as a newly appointed docent in chemistry, she feels that she is in exactly the right place.
- I completed my PhD in Uruguay and after that I ended up in Sweden. Before Karlstad University, I was a postdoc at KTH and Örebro University, as well as at University of Gothenburg for a short period, says Patricia Saenz Mendez.
As part of the SCIENCE SKILLS TO GO workshop series, we will explore online research profiles and strategies for promoting yourself as a researcher and improving your research visibility.Although publishing the results of a research project, such as in an article, and receiving attribution for that work might seem like the final stage of dissemination, it actually marks the beginning of the scientific disclosure process on the web.
In this Science skills to go seminar, we will have a closer look at the concept of open peer review, a transformative approach to scholarly publishing that emphasizes transparency and accountability. We will explore perceived key benefits of open peer review, such as increased trust in the review process, enhanced collaboration among researchers, and the potential for higher-quality feedback.

Karlstad University’s user lab are used by different disciplines and also in collaboration with external parties. Within the research group for usability studies, there is also the development of methodologies for interaction design, especially around Ozlab which is a GUI experimental web service developed to admit easy testing, even improvisation, of ideas for interactive products. It admits non-programmers to become concept developers and interactivity testers.
Karlstad University offers courses in English for Specific Purposes (ESP), with an emphasis on business and technical English. The ESP courses are available both to currently enrolled students and to those who are professionally active in the fields of business and science.
All seminars are held in Swedish unless otherwise stated.

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.

In a recent study, researchers Johan Högberg and Erik Wästlund at CTF, Service Research Center, have developed a new tool that can measure users’ experiences while using a gamified service.
The measuring tool, Gamefulquest, makes it possible to measure a user’s experience while using a gamified service.
"With the help of this tool we can investigate how different game elements affect the gameful experience and create an understanding for how different implementations of
