Many of us have digital maps at our fingertips in our smartphones, but these maps are not adapted to guide us when walking or finding our way in new environments, for example, as tourists in an unfamiliar big city. Creating such maps requires in-depth knowledge about map design which can be further improved by using new technology that can process large amounts of data. “We are collaborating with

En ny studie från forskarnätverket CLOO visar att organisatorisk och personlig resilens, det vill säga förmågan att stå emot och klara av en förändring, återhämta sig och vidareutvecklas, kan underlättas med hjälp av lokalt utformade utbildningsprogram. Studien är en del av projektet ”Den hållbara arbetsplatsen” som löpt under två år och fokuserade på kombinerad kompetensutveckling och interaktion
