This project aims to develop an innovation methodology applicable to both civilian and defense-oriented sectors, with a focus on marine technology.
The participating PhD student will focus on mechanical engineering with a connection to systems engineering, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of the project. The team supporting the PhD student (Professor Tobias Larsson, postdoc Jenny Elfsberg, Assoicate Professor Oskar Frånberg) has expertise in innovation, defense issues, and systems engineering. The project is conducted in close collaboration with companies such as Saab, FMV, FM, as well as other partners like Volvo CE and GKN Aerospace.
The project’s goal is to strengthen organizations’ innovation capabilities by developing and implementing new methods and tools, with a particular focus on defense and marine technology applications.
Collaboration between academia and industry is central, and the project contributes to a long-term partnership with industry while creating a model for efficient PhD training in close cooperation with industrial partners.
