R&D seminar in Kista focused on Swedish electronics

Electronics suppliers and Swedish researchers recently met at a well-attended seminar in Kista to discuss current issues in Swedish electronics production. The seminar was organised by the Knowledge Tour through the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF) in collaboration with electronics manufacturer NOTE.

About fifty participants discussed requirements management, prototyping and reliable and robust design. During the morning, the participants were divided into discussion groups where researchers and PhD students from KTH and Chalmers participated.

- "It is important to participate actively to drive Swedish research in electronics production forward. Through seminars like this, we want to create greater interest in Swedish research and also greater insight into how we can continue to drive Swedish electronics production forward," says Anders Söderbärg, PhD, Head of NOTE Centre of Excellence.

The Knowledge Tour was represented during the seminar by Associate Professor Anna Öhrwall Rönnbäck, who conducts research in the field of product development and business development for companies in co-operation. The Knowledge Tour aims to bring results from research in the field of product development to industry and facilitate meetings between researchers and people in business. The tour is organised in the form of seminars with a "contact and knowledge fair". Seminars are hosted by major companies, such as NOTE, business organisations or universities and colleges, often in collaboration with representatives of business development for the region.
