Significant projects and roles:

SMARTER - Operational project manager

In collaboration between academia and industry, Örebro University has established the national education initiative Smarter, with the aim of ensuring the supply of knowledge in AI and autonomous systems. Smarter is led by the university's strong research environment Center for Applied Autonomous Sensor Systems (AASS) and takes place in collaboration with the University of Skövde and Jönköping University. The courses, which are at an advanced level, are aimed at professionals and are free of charge. When the project is completed in year 2023, 120 credits of courses in AI will be implemented in the regular education system with application via antagning.se.

KIT is a collaboration between five higher education institutions (Örebro University, Blekinge Institute of Technology, University West, Linnaeus University and Mälardalen University), all of which have flexible education for professionals at the advanced level. Courses aimed at professionals are co-produced in collaboration with several universities in order to streamline the use of resources. The project also includes a platform: www.learning4professionals.se

AI4EU Education Space - Coordinator

The new platform is one of the latest initiatives stemming from the AI4EU consortium, which was founded in January 2019 as a European AI ecosystem www.AI4EU.eu.

AI Competence for Sweden - Board + communication group- member

Within the framework of the initiative, seven higher education institutions collaborate to create a knowledge platform and offer courses for professionals.
