On 13 September the SEC Doctoral Network invites you to a study visit at Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) in Eskilstuna. Link to the Volvo CE website: https://www.volvoce.com/europe/en/.
Content of the Day
The study visit consists of three parts.
In the morning the hosts at Volvo CE will present the company, and you will get a chance to share your research with them and practice how to pitch your results in a 2-minute-poster presentation (bring it in digital format).
In the afternoon there will be a visit to their site and you will experience how they work at Volvo CE, as well as in-depth discussions in small groups together with their specialists from different areas.
The visit will end with a machine show where you get to see the Volvo CE vehicles in action!
For those of you who have time to stay the evening, SEC invites you to dinner and a visit to the Munktell Museum (https://munktellmuseet.com/en/). At the museum you will be presented both historical machines and equipment as well as more modern ones. The visit ends with a dinner and you can stay until the museum closes at 22:00, or leave after the dinner if you need to catch a train home.
