This new program within the area of industrial maintenance and reliability is the second new program to be established as a result of our extensive developments in S\u00f6dert\u00e4lje. The final naming of the program is not decided yet but is investigated by an external consultancy bureau through an extensive survey to high-school students in Sweden. The idea is of course to find a name which attracts youngsters \u2013 both women and men \u2013 and which describes the program content in a fair and true way.<\/p>\n<p>Another exciting development is the establishment of a new type applied research centre in cooperation with Fraunhofer in Germany and RISE \u2013 Research Institutes of Sweden. This new centre will initially be hosted by the Department of Production Engineering but is supposed to create links also to other departments of ITM. The short name is PMH Application Lab and the full name is Powertrain Manufacturing for Heavy Vehicles Application Lab. The basic idea is to engage with Fraunhofer and RISE to establish an applied research centre similar to how Fraunhofer operates in Germany with close links and extensive mobility between the institute and the hosting university. We also believe that this centre will strengthen our position as a European research partner. The particular topic of powertrain manufacturing is of course related to the fact that the M\u00e4lardalen region represents about 10% of the total world-wide production of heavy vehicle powertrains.<\/p>\n<p>As announced in my last blog, ITM held last week the annual leadership conference with about 50 participants. Among a number of interesting topics the whole leadership agreed on the <em>ITM basic values. <\/em>These values are given below (in Swedish) and will soon be translated also to English and published on our intranet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ITM:s v\u00e4rdegrund <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>ITM har en v\u00e4rdegrund baserad p\u00e5<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>demokrati, m\u00e4nniskors lika v\u00e4rde, m\u00e4nskliga fri- och r\u00e4ttigheter samt en fri och \u00f6ppen diskussion.
