Ongoing projects
Digital health promotion in schools
A more sedentary life and a diet high in sugar have created public health problems in low-income countries - heart disease has become increasingly common in the population. To help prevent this development, researchers at the University of Skövde, Mid Sweden University and two Nepalese universities will examine existing knowledge among parents and school children in Nepal and develop a digital health education.
January 2021 - December 2023Finished projects
Game Hub Scandinavia
Game Hub Scandinavia aims to strengthen the Scandinavian position in the global game community. In the Game Hub Scandinavia project researchers and business developers’ work together to build knowledge and networks in the global game development community in order to support Scandinavian studios on the global game market.
January 2019 - December 2021 InformaticsSweden Game Arena
Sweden Game Arena is a co-operation between University of Skövde, Science Park Skövde and Skövde municipality. The project aims to build the research- and development community for game development in Skövde and Region Västra Götaland. The project has three main activities: research and education in game development and incubation specializing in incubation game studios.
January 2019 - December 2021 InformaticsPrevention of online sexual grooming
Online “sexual grooming” is the process by which a child is befriended by a would-be abuser in an attempt to gain the child’s confidence and trust. In online interactions, children run the risk of being abused and some contacts may also lead to physical meetings where children can become subject to further abuse.
September 2014 - December 2015 InformaticsFUN – Digital aids for increased joy of movement for children with neurodevelopmental disorders
The level of physical activity is constantly declining among children and adolescents. School children today do not reach the recommended level of activity needed to maintain good physical and mental health, in the present or for the future. The FUN project aims to develop digital aids and applications that will encourage pupils with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) to increase their level of physical activity.
