Expected results and effects: Results: -At least 30 courses -At least 50 course rounds -At least 100 new members -At least 1750 credits examined Effects (2-5-years): -Continued coordination of research school within the production area -Continuous inventory of skills gap between needs and existing courses

-New courses developed to fill skill gaps -More people at postgraduate level in the production area Effects (5-12-years): -Increased mobility between academia/industry -Increased access to competence in the production area -More invest in sustainable production in Sweden Approach and implementation:

The project is coordinated through Halmstad University. A reference group with representatives from the Swedish Production Academy supports coordination and quality assurance and collects gaps between needs and current courses.
