The WASP Graduate School is dedicated to provide the skills needed to analyze, develop, and contribute to the interdisciplinary area of artificial intelligence, autonomous systems and software.
The curriculum provides the foundations, perspectives, and state-of-the-art knowledge in the different disciplines taught by leading researchers in the field.
Forming a Strong Professional Network
The WASP graduate school actively supports forming a strong multi-disciplinary and international professional network between PhD students, researchers and industry.
This is done through an ambitious program with specifically designed courses, international research visits, study visits at Swedish industry partners, cooperation with several partner universities in and outside Sweden, and visiting lecturers. There are also recurrent chances for our PhD students to network with industrial and academic representatives in the many events arranged by WASP.
The graduate school provides added value on top of the existing PhD programs at the partner universities, providing unique opportunities for students who are dedicated to achieve international research excellence with industrial relevance.
Summer School
WASP arranges a summer school every year, one Community Building Summer School for new-comers and one or two for students in the second grade (and above). The format is normally Monday to Friday one week in August. The Community Building Summer School gives an introduction to WASP research. The other summer schools are often thematic, and the program varies from year to year. Typically lectures are mixed with teamwork and exercises.
