Karlstad University is calling on tech innovators to participate in the 1st Open Call of the 6G-PATH EU project. This initiative offers a unique opportunity for startups, and research institutions to develop and test next-generation Beyond-5G (B5G) and 6G technologies.
The Open Call features a track for “Infrastructure Extensions”, targeting entities that want to integrate enhanced technologies in one of the 6G-PATH infrastructures.
Karlstad University continues to solidify its position as a key player in the European research on Beyond 5G (B5G) and 6G mobile technologies. The Distributed Intelligent Systems and Communications (DISCO) group, part of the Computer Science Department, has secured funding for three exciting new projects.
On September 25, Karlstad University, together with Compare, companies, organizations, and students, gathered for this year’s Digital Competence Network Day (DICOND), with nearly 70 participants.
During the event, participants had the opportunity to meet and network with students in computer science and informatics, with the goal of creating new forms of collaboration and ensuring that the region remains competitive in the labor market.
"We want to strengthen cooperation
We are pleased to welcome our new PhD student, Emad Uddin, who will work on the Drive project, focusing on improving service quality in 5G and 6G networks through data-driven analysis.
The core of the project is to analyze network traffic over time using statistics and machine learning to make better decisions and adapt traffic based on the network’s status.
Karlstad University is now launching a new bachelor's program in computer science with a focus on artificial intelligence (AI) that will start in the fall of 2025.
Karlstad University, together with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) and the European Data Protection Supervisor is hosting the hybrid conferences Annual Privacy Forum and IPEN 2024, September 3-5.
With over 400 participants, the conferences are expected to bring together privacy experts, engineers, lawyers, researchers, and policymakers from both the private and public sectors.
"It is the first time that the conference is being held in Sweden, and we ho
Muhammad Ovais Ahmad, associate professor in Computer Science, was presented with Best Paper Award at the 2024 International Conference on Technologies & Organization for his work, "Symbiotic Nexus between Social Sustainability and Large-Scale Agility in Nordic Technology Enterprises." The conference was held in Paris on 27 June 2024.

Researcher Tobias Pulls from the Department of Computer Science at Karlstad University, together with the Gothenburg-based company Mullvad VPN, has developed a new protection named DAITA ("Defense against AI-guided Traffic Analysis").
The protection against the rapid AI development in traffic analysis is available in Mullvad's VPN app on various platforms throughout the year, which has over a million downloads worldwide.
"AI has become incredibly good at recognizing patte
Within the Drive project in computer science, the new satellite-based internet service Starlink is currently being tested.
Starlink, developed by Elon Musk's SpaceX, offers reliable internet connectivity in areas with limited infrastructure.
Farzaneh Karegar, lecturer in informatics, together with Simone Fischer-Hübner, professor in computer science, you have written the book The curious case of usable privacy: Challenges, Solutions, and Prospects.
Farzaneh Karegar, tell us what the book is about
- The book addresses the field of useful privacy and its challenges, solutions and new opportunities.
Recently, Amal Nammouchi, a doctoral student in Computer Science, participated in the winning team during AI meets climate: MIT Energy and Climate Hack.
Hundreds of students from around the world gathered both on the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s campus and virtually for the event held in Massachusetts, USA.
In House 11, Erik Wästlund is just finishing a Zoom meeting on research funding. He is new as professor of psychology, but a familiar face in the university corridors.
– I started studying psychology here in 1996, he says.
– Back in those days it was mostly because I wanted to do something more besides my job working in a bar. But pretty soon my studies became more important than my work. Psychology was not a given choice.
One6G is a non-profit association with over 100 academic and industry members. Karlstad University can use one6Gs network for establishing strategic collaborations and partnerships with other one6G members.
– As one6G member, we can propose new or participate to existing joint research topics as part of one6G working groups.
6G-PATH (6G-pilots and Trials Through Europe) is a new Horizon Europe project where Computer Science and Nursing Science at Karlstad University are participating. The project is going to develop solutions that can be applied in health education.
6G is expected to introduce new technologies that will enable innovative applications.
The need for increased cyber security is growing day by day. As a response, the Swedish government is investing a total of SEK 100 million over the next few years in Cybercampus Sweden, which has now opened with an inauguration at KTH. The purpose behind the investment is to strengthen both skills supply and research in cyber security.
After the recent hacker attacks in which the university's IT supplier Tietoevry, amongst others, was affected, it becomes clear how quickly organizations can become target of such actions. Meiko Jensen, lecturer in cybersecurity at computer science, helps us clarify the areas of hacking and cybersecurity.
Hi Meiko Jensen.
The project group DRIVE, together with Ericsson AB, invited partner companies to a two-day joint workshop with the aim of showcasing and discussing how to work with mobile services.
Seven computer science students have been recognized for what teachers describe as "outstanding" project work in the Software Engineering course at the computer science department.
