MOBILE LIFE VINN Excellence Centre
The Mobile Life Centre at Stockholm University in Kista does research in mobile services and ubiquitous computing through joining forces with local research organization such as SICS and Interactive Institute. The topic of the Centre includes research on consumer-oriented mobile and ubiquitous services spanning all areas from entertainment and socialization to work and society. It has major partners from the IT and telecom industry, including Ericsson Research, TeliaSonera, Sony Ericsson and Microsoft Research Ltd. Partnerships in the public sector, including City of Stockholm Municipality and Kista Science City will secure societal relevance, and collaboration with Stockholm Innovation and Growth ensures that results are integrated in the innovation system. In the Centre, this academic, industrial and public partnership will be able to jointly work on strategically important projects that can provide a sustainable growth for Sweden.
The center is funded by VINNOVA on a 10 year grant, 2007 - 2016. At the inauguration in August 2007, we presented a brochure (PDF) with our latest demos and idea.
The center builds on the
results from a previous SSF-grant (read about
some of the results in a
Halfway Report from 2004), 2002 - 2007, and results from the EU-funded iperg project.
