We have many course collaborations with the University of Gothenburg (GU), Chalmers, the University of Borås (HB), and University West (HV) across a range of topics, from environmental management systems to supply chain mapping and LCAs on products or systems. An easy way for your organization to access fresh knowledge and additional resources!
Most courses usually run once a year, some twice. Some courses continue for the whole term, while others are set to a few weeks. We are happy to tell you more about the scope of the courses and projects and how they can suit your organisation.
Do you have plans to conduct a future LCA, implement a management system, or take a new approach to sustainability efforts? In this course, students gain a deeper understanding of life cycle assessments (LCA), management systems, and sustainability work, as well as how these connect to a company's CSR (Corporate Sustainability Responsibility) initiatives. The course provides an initial preparation for how these processes are practically carried out within an organization, covering all the steps involved in, for example, an LCA.
How do you work with sustainability? Students get the opportunity to collaborate with companies in the textile and fashion industry to see how they integrate sustainability into their operations. Together with these companies, students use theoretical tools to design, collect, process, and analyze information related to sustainable development.
This course is attended by students studying computer science, systems development and software development. The course aims to provide students with knowledge in project management in IT. Among other things, students can develop apps, visualise doctoral theses and evaluate IT systems. Kursen går andra halvan av terminen.
This course focuses on the communication of research related to both social and environmental sustainability in the maritime sector. Topics include environmental impact, working conditions, diversity, equality, and inclusion. Students work in pairs on industry-linked projects addressing complex real-world challenges, with the goal of continuing their research in a subsequent thesis course. The course is offered in Study Period 2 and is research preparatory.
In this course, students will carry out a major development project for a client. The project is carried out in groups where the students apply knowledge from the theory part and use relevant methods and tools. The theory part covers: Software engineering processes, agile methods, typical development activities such as requirements gathering, architecture and design choices, implementation, verification and validation, and further development of systems. The course runs throughout the whole term.
Companies looking to host an intern who can assist with data collection, surveys, documentation, and strategy-related adaptations. The student works part-time during the fall, making it a suitable option for businesses with limited time for internship supervision.
In this course, you can get help with analysing materials in your product, suggesting replacements with more biologically based materials and also get help with making a SWOT analysis of a material or product. The course runs during the first half of the term.
Do you need to perform a life cycle assessment on a product or service? Then, students in this course can help you based on recognised LCA methods. The course covers important concepts such as objectives and scope, flowcharts for system boundaries, functional units, allocation, inventory analysis, classification, characterisation and weighting. The course runs during the first half of the autumn term and is taught in English.
Electrical engineers from Chalmers study sustainable development based on the latest technology, and through the final presentation they indicate opportunities to take your development work further. This course runs at Chalmers University of Technology during the second half of the term.
Get an analysis of how sustainable your supply chain is and get strategies on how to make it even better. This unique course takes place at Chalmers University of Technology and is taught in English during the second half of the term.
Using theoretical perspectives and practical examples, students learn to plan, analyze, and implement change in organizations facing challenges, opportunities, threats, and risks related to digital infrastructures and ecosystems. Reach out if this sounds relevant to your business!
In this course, you have the opportunity to work with interns with an environmental science background. The course gives students the opportunity to apply their acquired knowledge of environmental science in your workplace. They also gain theoretical knowledge of the objectives and guidelines for society's environmental work. Kursen går första halvan av terminen.
The students work in the course with everything from technical issues linked to resource management to the economic and business aspects of circularity and how it can be applied in an organisation. The course runs during the second half of the term and is taught in English.
Through this course collaboration with us, you can get help from students studying the courses Resource Recovery and Circular Economy at the University of Borås The focus is on waste minimisation, recycling, energy recovery and material cycles but also ethical, social, legal and economic issues. How is society affected, what waste streams exist, how is a functioning waste management system built? Kursen går andra halvan av terminen.
In this course, subject knowledge is integrated with practical exercises where students are given the opportunity to apply knowledge and skills to carry out tasks in existing projects for public or non-profit organisations. Students can do anything from analysing the risk and environment linked to the project, developing a strategy/schedule for future periods or writing news updates. Kursen går andra halvan av terminen.
Do you have societal challenges that you’d like a fresh perspective on? Students get the opportunity to apply Work-Integrated Social Studies (AIL) in practice, with a primary focus on sustainable solutions to contemporary societal challenges. This collaboration is particularly well-suited for organizations and institutions that encounter these types of issues.
Ceren Altuntas Vural, professor at Chalmers, says that the collaboration anchors their course with industry where students apply theoretical models to industrial challenges.
