Mälardalen University Automation Research Center
MARC
Pioneering world-class research and cutting-edge education, driven by industry collaboration in digitalization and automation!
Research Area
MARC, the research at Mälardalen University (MDU) will capitalise on synergies primarily between the two research environments Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) and Innovation and Product Realisation (IPR), and provide a solid base for junior researchers to grow into future research leaders. Combined with industrial partnerships, this aligns with the mission to combine research excellence with industrial relevance, emphasising co-production with external partners.
Co-Production
Collaboration with industrial partners is a central element of the research plan, bringing together expertise from academia and industry. This partnership aims to tackle real-world challenges, to facilitate knowledge transfer, and to foster innovation as well as technology and competence transfer in both directions. The collaboration is expected to yield practical solutions applicable in various industrial contexts, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of Swedish and European industry.
Join Us
MARC, in its pursuit of excellence in research, is firmly committed to fostering a dynamic and innovative research environment that will nurture its members' academic and professional growth. We warmly welcome talents from all over the world to join us and contribute to the long-term success of MARC. The strategic approach to recruitment and career development will focus on 3 aspects: global talent acquisition, empowerment of early-career researchers, and the PhD candidate development program.
