External collaboration

The Department of Computer Science at the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design combine cutting-edge science with strong industrial links.

The Department has extensive collaboration with partners from the IT industry, in order to ensure the relevance of our educational programmes and R&D activities to the industry and to society.

Bachelor's and master's theses

The Department collaborates extensively with industry and organizations to provide our students with relevant projects for their Bachelor's and Master's theses.

The projects are based on real-life challenges, and we make sure that the students get to use the skills and knowledge they have acquired throughout their studies.

The projects are a key stepping stone in preparing students for the workplace, and provides them with a unique insight into their future work and work environment.

The Department ensures that the students receive academic supervision throughout their project period.

The Department organizes Relevance Seminars every year. Partners and contacts from the industry are invited to discuss and suggest potential changes to our educational programmes, in order to keep the programmes relevant for the industry.

Predicting extreme weather using artificial intelligence

Extreme weather events are hard to predict. New AI tools might just have the solution.

Information systems and technology

What will the clouds above us be like in the future?

Artificial intelligence can now be trained to predict what the cloud cover will look like when the climate changes.

How artificial intelligence can help the visually impaired

Traditional navigation tools for the visually impaired are often impractical and require extensive training. Yet rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and the increasing computational capabilities of smartphones are opening new doors to enhance navigation assistance.
