Systems innovation – geofencing needs machine-readable traffic rules

We dig deeper into the topic of geofencing in the transport system. What is needed for the possibilities afforded by the technology to create societal benefit? What is needed for machine-readable traffic rules, working methods and regulations. Who needs to do what to scale-up all successful tests?

Sustainable and future-proof supply of innovation-critical metals

The supply of innovation-critical metals is largely based on imports from other countries, which can constitute a vulnerability for society and lead to raw materials being produced in poor conditions. From where should the raw materials needed for the transition to a carbon neutral society come?

Future engineers – how can we meet the insatiable need for engineering skills?

There are high expectations of engineers as a professional group, both in terms of their numbers and what they will bring to trade and industry. The skills shortage in the field is becoming increasingly urgent. How can trade and industry, the education system, and politics jointly rethink and re-evaluate to ensure the supply of engineering skills to safeguard our future? Our CEO Pia Sandvik is participating in the panel discussion.

How do we achieve lifelong learning?

Knowledge and skills are perishable commodities. To keep up with developments as a student, citizen, company owner, politician, or employee, one’s knowledge must be updated regularly. But who is responsible for this? What does it take to create a learning organisation? Carl Heath, Senior Researcher, is participating in the discussion.
