Luleå University of Technology, Mälardalen University and Örebro University, together with industry,
are co-producing education in the project REEDEAM, Climate Neutral Production, Electrification,
Digitization and Automation for the Commodity-Based Value Chain. The purpose of REEDEAM is to
establish a long-term collaboration between the universities based on their scientific strengths and
contribute with relevant expertise at advanced level adapted to the real needs of industry in the
climate transition. A planned graduate school will give the business community greater access to
doctoral expertise and further strengthen the universities’ joint collaboration with the surrounding
business community and society.
The starting point is the universities’ scientific areas of strength in production, digitization and
automation, electrification and the interaction between people, technology, organization and society
to collectively meet the strategic competence needs of the business community linked to the climate
transition. The initiative is well in line with the universities’ existing strategies, such as the strategic
future areas Natural Resources for Sustainable Societal Transformation and Sustainable Material Use
in a Connected and Circular Economy at Luleå University of Technology; Mälardalen University’s
strong research environments Energy of the Future and Reliable Smart Systems; and the strategic
initiatives in AI and Robotics and Mining at Örebro University. Lessons learned and experiences from
the Knowledge Foundation’s expert competence program are integrated and ensure efficiency and
quality in the implementation of creating a coherent competence offer.
REEDEAM has established a common platform between HEIs for co-production with relevant
industrial companies (WP1), develop innovative forms of education in collaboration with industry at
advanced and postgraduate level (WP2) and create new forms of recruitment, student satisfaction
and throughput (WP3). To reinforce the initiative, an application for an associated graduate school will
be developed as an integral part of the project (WP4). The HEIs’ lessons learned and experiences
from the Expert Competence Program and previous educational collaborations with industry will be
utilized.
The Reedeam project is funded by KK-foundation and runs from 2023 to 2027.
