Nov, 23 2017

The final program for the study tour to Halmstad University and Cycleurope is now set!

The purpose of the tour is to share knowledge, exchange ideas, get inspiration to new projects and understand more about the competence available within the SAFER research umbrella. The facilities in Halmstad, the Electronic Centre and the Digital Laboratory Centre, and the plant in Varberg are all unique:

The Digital Laboratory Centre (DLC) in Halmstad is a creative, high-technical, laboratory environment offering the latest digital technology that will allow both creativity and visibility of new knowledge. DLC has all the latest equipment in visualisation, simulation, and design technology that allows possibilities, in new and visual ways, to convey complex or abstract information. It also has equipment in VR, i.e. "virtual reality", digital lab environments, a creative room, and a communication studio. DLC is used in education, research, and development projects and acts as a so-called "maker space" - a creative environment based on sharing knowledge as well as access to tools for realising and achieving ideas.

The Electronics Centre (ECH) in Halmstad is an innovation arena for regional cooperation in the field of electronics. ECH is a shared R&D entity with resources such as advanced electronics labs, EMC testing facilities and an arena for building know- how in terms of research and education. The focus of ECH is integration of electronics in everyday products to make them “smart”, which provides a substantial added value and competitive advantages, and represents an important innovation potential of traditional Swedish manufacturing industry.

Cycleurope, the famous bicycle manufacturer, which is also part of one of Europe's leading bicycle groups. We get the unique opportunity to visit the factory, a tour we promise you will be very exciting. We will also learn more about the company, bike safety and challenges in this area.
