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 the Knowledge Foundation and runs from 2023 to 2027.
