About us

VISION, MISSION, AND STRATEGY

SEDDIT constitutes a platform for collaboration between universities and companies to conduct research and education in digital societal transformation with the aim of strengthening Sweden’s competitiveness.

The goal is to contribute to a resilient and sustainable society through digital transformation by developing cutting-edge knowledge and competitive solutions within sensor informatics and decision-making.

VISION

To be the leading research environment for the Swedish system-building industry within sensor informatics and decision-making for a resilient and sustainable society.

The work towards this vision is summarized in the mission.

MISSION

To contribute to a resilient and sustainable society and the competitiveness of Swedish industrial ecosystems by developing cutting-edge knowledge and competitive solutions within sensor informatics and decision-making.

STRATEGY

Based on the vision and the mission, the strategy of SEDDIT has the following four components:

  • High-quality research in industry-relevant areas, as well as fast knowledge transfer from academia to industry.
  • Educating highly qualified human resources (PhD and MSc degrees)
  • Promoting gender balance within education and research.
  • Improving the international perspective through collaboration with a selected set of international partners

THIS IS SEDDIT

Today, climate change and global stability and security are two of the most urgent global challenges facing the world. Digital transformation is critical to address these challenges as it enables environmental, economic, and governance actions – both on a local and global scale – to be based on reliable and up-to-date information.

A key component in the digital transformation will be advanced mathematical methods for information extraction and decision-making from vast amounts of data. Therefore, the focus of the SEDDIT center is:

  • the research and development of advanced mathematical methods for information extraction and decision-making from massive amounts of data; and
  • education and human resources development within this area.

SEDDIT constitutes a platform for collaboration between universities and companies to conduct research and education in digital societal transformation with the aim of strengthening Sweden’s competitiveness. The center comprises several of Sweden’s leading system-building companies, all affected directly or indirectly by climate change, as well as global stability and security. For these companies to stay competitive, reduce their environmental impact, and adapt to the effects of climate change, a digital transformation of their existing products, services, and production, along with new digital solutions and business models, are crucial. Advanced mathematical methods for information extraction anddecision-making using heterogeneous sensor data in combination with knowledge of the physics of the underlying systems, is a core part of this digital transformation.
