Digitalisation

As a university of technology with an international profile, we have a unique responsibility to contribute to the digital transformation. Our vision is to create a better world through innovation, skills and digitalisation. Together with our students, researchers and partners, we work to make the world more sustainable and inclusive.

What does digitalisation mean at BTH?

Technology, knowledge and social benefit

At BTH, digitalisation is about more than just following the progress of technology - we lead the development. Here, technology, people and societal challenges come together to create solutions that positively impact the world.

This is how we work with digitalisation

• Developing technologies and methods: Our researchers and students explore how digital technologies can be used to streamline processes and solve complex problems. From AI and cloud technologies to IT security and data-driven solutions, we are at the forefront.
• Understanding the impact of digitalisation: We analyze the impact of digital transformation on society, culture and economy and use that knowledge to create sustainable development.
• Implementing new solutions: Our partnerships with business and society ensure that the results of our work become reality - on the business floor, in our cities and in people's everyday lives.

Digitalisation - part of our everyday life

Digitalisation is not just something we teach or research - it is an integral part of how we work and organise our university. At BTH, we use digital technology to create modern, flexible and inclusive environments that promote creativity and learning.

• Smart classrooms: Our lecture halls and labs are equipped with the latest technology to provide our students and teachers with the best conditions.
• Digital work tools: From administrative processes to teaching, we use the most effective digital tools to simplify and improve our operations.
• Collaboration with the outside world: Through close partnerships with companies, authorities and organisations, we ensure that our digital initiatives are practical and useful.

Examples of research in digitalisation

At BTH, research in digitisation is more than academic reports - it is a driver of real change. Our researchers work on projects that have the potential to impact everything from individuals' quality of life to global societal challenges.

Some examples of our research:

• AI for sustainable development: How can machine learning and algorithms help reduce carbon emissions and improve resource use? Our researchers are exploring this daily.
• Smart cities: Through digital solutions such as IoT and data analytics, we help cities become more energy efficient, adaptable and citizen-friendly.
• Digital health: We develop technologies to improve patient care, from e-health services to diagnostics using AI.
