Research Projects
Based on the three research areas and the use cases of MARC, we have identified seven initial research projects to advance the state of the art in each area. All projects involve multiple industrial partners and have been designed both to deliver results of short-term interest for the partners and to long-term strengthen the academic environment.
Research Areas
In 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.
