Product development is no longer just about creating a product that provides benefits at the lowest possible cost. With the rapid pace of change in society, products must also be able to fit into complex systems and be sustainable. A solution for developing new products according to new conditions is so-called model-driven product development, which […]

BTH has been part of producing Sweden’s first national innovation agenda for underwater technology and the researchers see many potential areas of use – even beyond marine applications. “Energy and security are two major societal challenges where we can make a contribution,” says Oskar Frånberg, researcher and director for the National Centre for Underwater Technology […]

BTH has internationally recognised research and education that help companies, municipalities and other organisations to contribute to society’s transition to sustainability in ways that strengthen the organisations both in the short and long term. To be able to be strategic, it is necessary to know what you want to achieve. Thus, to be able to […]

In May 2022, a new research project in computer science at Blekinge Institute of Technology was announced. At the heart of the project is the development of new, smart digital environments and a vision for virtual and immersive spaces, referred to as intelligent realities. Digitalisation affects everyone to some degree. Over the past decade, there […]

The current global situation has put security high on the agenda across many parts of society. And yet, there is a considerable skills shortage when it comes to addressing modern threats – and that puts Blekinge Institute of Technology front and centre. The University is at the heart of a growing cluster of research and […]

Systems engineering is an enabler in the field of digitalisation and sustainability that aims to develop technical systems into a coherent whole. These include systems for smart cities and autonomous vehicles, digitalisation in agriculture, automatic image enhancement, mapping of the Earth’s surface, satellite-based weather forecasts and climate models for our planet. Two researchers in systems […]

Since its founding four years ago, the BTH Research and Education Clinic has been advancing at breakneck speed. The Health Clinic, as it is also known, has become a hub for education and the development of the healthcare of the future. The BTH Health and Research Clinic has, despite its young age, already become an […]

Can AI be a tool to improve healthcare in the meeting of people? An exciting collaboration project at BTH is deepening the analysis and knowledge of abuse in healthcare, as basis for development. “We use healthcare data, with the help of self-learning clustering algorithms, to detect patterns and deepen knowledge so that abuse can be […]

More and more of the world’s population live in cities. Cities that may have been sustainable when they were created may be far from that with current lifestyles. The future and the significant transition that is needed place demands on the districts and cities we create today, but also on reducing the negative impact of […]

BTH has received funding to invest in virtual production. The new technology will be used for research and education, as well as in the fast-growing digital film industry. Prototypes of the film studio have already been tested and a demo lab is already in place at BTH and soon a studio double its size will […]
