Applied reinforcement learning for simulation-based optimisation

This course introduces modern reinforcement learning methods for learning control policies in simulated environments. The course presents the reinforcement learning framework for sequential decision-making and covers widely used deep reinforcement learning algorithms, including value-based methods such as DQN/DDQN and actor–critic approaches such as Proximal Policy Optimisation (PPO) and Soft Actor–Critic (SAC). The focus is on how neural network policies are trained through interaction with simulated systems.

Machine learning for geology

This course introduces machine learning and deep learning methods for professionals working in mining and geology. Each topic is introduced through a real challenge from the mining industry, spanning the full value chain from exploration and drilling through to resource estimation and production. The program covers a broad range of methods including classical machine learning, convolutional neural networks, generative models, and large language models, all taught in the context of geological workflows so participants always see how a method connects to something they already do in practice.

Human-AI teaming for Industry

This course introduces the principles and practice of human-AI teaming with a particular focus on industrial settings. The course addresses how humans and AI systems can work together as collaborative partners rather than as simple tool-users. The most common case of a human-AI team consists of one human collaborating with one AI agent, yet also, multiple autonomous robots supervised by a human can be developed into a human-AI team.

Vibe to green - AI-assisted coding for industrial sustainability

This course introduces AI-assisted coding (“vibe coding”) as a practical skill for industrial professionals seeking to leverage large language models (LLMs) in their daily work. Organized across five lessons of one hour each, the course takes participants from a conceptual understanding of how LLMs function to hands-on use of modern AI coding environments, prompt engineering, version control, debugging, and security awareness.

Industry and university in collaboration

logos-small

- Industry's green transition to a sustainable future requires knowledge of new, sustainable technologies and business models. In the Reedeam project, the industry and our three universities together create unique opportunities both for companies to train employees and to recruit students who have the core skills needed to succeed. We do this by ensuring that companies are constantly involved when we create the new courses and provide feedback on what works best. The universities contribute to the courses with researchers and teachers who have developed methods and theory based on needs arising from joint research projects.

The Reedeam project

Skills development
for industry's
climate transition

Together with 20 industrial companies, Luleå university of technology, Mälardalen university and Örebro university are co-producing courses to support industry’s climate transition. The five-year project is funded by the Knowledge Foundation. The aim is to strengthen the cooperation between universities and industry by improving access to needs-based education.

"Technology skills are crucial to enable industry's climate transition"

Serious skills shortage slows down climate transition

– Today, we have a serious situation where skills shortages contribute to slowing down the climate transition. Several reports show that many industries are having difficulty finding the right skills. We are now investing in deeper collaboration between academia, business and other actors to meet the many challenges in strategically important areas for the business sector’s transition,” says Eva Schelin, CEO of the Knowledge Foundation.

Thoughts on the Reedeam project

- Traditional industries are being transformed

The green and digital transitions mean we need to build new skills in industry and academia. Traditional industries are being transformed into new ways of doing business. Batteries and semiconductors are manufactured in an advanced and fast production system, and the whole value chain requires a different skill set from traditional European industry. Therefore, a transformation of the university sector is needed while industry is transformed and reborn. REEDEAM is a small and important step in this transformation.
