Digitalisering och jobb inom industrin 4.0

We have now released the program for the afternoon seminar in connection to the inauguration of the Stena Industry Innovation Lab on 8 May. This part of the program is open to the public.

A Seminar in the Digitalisation of Industry Series, by Chalmers Production Area of Advance

Digitalisation of industry is the most profound change of global society since steam engines and electrical motors entered our workplaces. Industry 4.0 is a concept invented in Germany in 2011. Now it is spreading to the rest of the world and Swedish industry is in the forefront. But what will future industries and jobs look like? Are occupations disappearing or just changing? Can Sweden keep up with the global digitalisation and competition?

Chalmers Production Area of Advance has invited leading international experts to give us glimpses of the digitalised future and ideas on how to plan for work in Industry 4.0.

Date: 8 May
Time: 12:00 – 19:00
Location: Lindholmen Conference Center

Please register no later than 20 April! The seminar is free of charge but registration is mandatory.
A standard administration fee of SEK 400 will be charged in case of no-show.
