The University has strong competence in the field
The University of Gävle is at the forefront in the field and the Automation Day is a way to communicate this message and to find areas for collaboration in research as well as in education.
“We have knowledge and skill that the businesses need and for us it is valuable to see how our models work out in real life,” says Niklas Björsell, senior lecturer in electronics at the University of Gävle.
Right now, Sweden is able to attract production, because we are good at automation.

Automation engineers
Computers run various systems in our society; they control our indoor environment as well advanced operating systems for industrial production processes. Automation engineers have skills that thousands of employers within the manufacturing industry and energy and real estate companies etcetera demand.
Today, there is a shortage of automation engineers and the field is also continuously expanding.
The University offers first and second cycle programmes, and there is research within the automation field. Moreover, there is a good laboratory for educational purposes and we also offer a successful Co-op programme for our students.
