Collaboration with Business and Industry
In brief, the KTP project involves the employment of a recent graduate for up to two years at a regional company. The project can be about product development, market development, process development and energy efficiency, based on the specific company´s needs.
During the employment period, Dalarna University provides a qualified supervisor, often a researcher, and a businesscoach. The University also provides any necessary lab resources. The project leader (i.e., the recent graduate) will receive a market-competitive salary, half of which is paid by the company and the other half with project funding.

This company would like to have seen Rickard continue with them, but he decided, unfortunately for them, to move to Gothenburg where he could continue his studies at Chalmers.
This KTP project began when the company recognized a large market among a number of diverse industries. To make improvements in today's hydraulic systems that are intended for the industry, clear information must be available about the current situation in terms of energy costs. The project aims to produce an energy survey that will provide a clear and easily understood picture of improvements that can be made as a means of reducing costs.
