Organization

The 2018 event took place on Monday 14th May, at KTH

It was the third in this annual Workshop series. The first two events were organized at NTNU, within the ProSmart project.
Their programmes and presentations can be seen here: 2016 & 2017.

On Monday 13th of May 2019 the Workshop will take place at the University of Vaasa organized by the Smart Electric Systems group.


Scope and Audience

The Workshop language is English. Industry and university participants from within and beyond the Nordic countries are welcome. University groups are introduced in overview, and technical presentations are made of specific projects (PhD, postdoc, some MSc) to showcase the projects and recent results. Presentations from industry may focus on a specific technical solution, a challenge in need of further work, or a more general overview of needs and development in the coming years.

The general aim is to exchange useful information, and to help form useful contacts. The input from industry is helpful to university groups in getting insight into present practical issues and useful research areas. University groups with shared or complementary interests get in contact with each other, even between countries. Industry participants may identify university projects of interest to them, or meet useful contacts from other companies. MSc students who attend will see more about this subject area as a possible path in their later MSc courses, job applications or further studies.

18:30.    Start of Dinner in the Reactor Hall R1 (buffet, with flexible end-time)

Several people asked: the food was from Fågelängens Catering, within the KTH main campus.




Venue

The registration and sessions will be held in room U41, at Brinellvägen 28A.

Lunch will be at a nearby restaurant.

The dinner will be four minutes walk away, in historic hall R1 whose entrance is at Drottning Kristinas väg 51.

A nearby hotel is Elite Hotel Arcadia, Körsbärsvägen 1, around 6 minutes walk from room U41.

The map below shows these addresses and the underground station.
It links to a larger version.

More detail about the campus can be found in the KTH Main Campus maps page.


Travel

From Arlanda airport the direct train "Arlanda Express" takes 20 minutes to Stockholm's central station, every 10 or 15 minutes; alternatively the airport bus Flygbussarna is similarly frequent and takes 45 minutes.

From Bromma airport the same bus company operates to Stockholm central, with a 20 minute journey time.

From the central station, it takes 6 minutes on the underground from 'T-centralen' to the Tekniska högskolan station: see times and map. Alternatively this is a 15 to 20 minute walk.

Taxis are available at the airports: more can be seen under Transportation and Parking on the airport websites (above). They accept card payments. KTH is within the zone for which the maximum price of 625 SEK from Arlanda is valid. The time from Arlanda is around 40 minutes, depending on traffic.
