PADOK PhD Workshop at SPS 2026
PADOK, the Swedish national network for PhD students in production and product development, will host an interactive and competitive workshop at SPS 2026.
A real-world case will be presented, and mixed groups of PhD students, academics, and industry professionals will collaborate to develop creative solutions. Groups will pitch their ideas, and participants will vote for the best solution, creating a dynamic and fun learning experience.
The workshop focuses on the challenges of digitalisation and the transition to a circular economy, aiming to strengthen collaboration between academia and industry.
More details about the workshop, participating organisations, and registration will be announced soon.
All conference attendees at SPS 2026 are very welcome to join!
Are you interested in mountain experiences, for example in Abisko or Björkliden; winter experiences in the area around Luleå; moose and reindeer encounters; alpine or cross-country skiing; or simply enjoying life in the Arctic climate?
