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
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.
