MMTC Research Seminar presented by Christian Sandström

Aluminium is known to be a metal that is resistant to corrosion, but when we work with aluminium alloys this is not always true. Alloying elements are added to Al to increase the mechanical performances, but can be detrimental to the durability of the metal.  

In this webinar, we will focus on understanding how alloying element influence corrosion resistance of Al alloys and what we should consider when choosing and testing an Al alloy. 

After attending this webinar you will know more about: 

• How the alloy chemical composition affects corrosion resistance 

• What are the possible degradation mechanisms of Al alloys 

• How manufacturing process affect the durability of Al alloys 

Register for the webinar, that is in English only, no later then 19 May here

Climate collaboration & the role of Communication

Guest speaker: Otto Hedenmo, Doctoral Student, School of Education and Communication (Jönköping Univiersity)

Collaboration between different actors such as, regions, municipalities, civil society organizations, businesses and schools, is important for the transition to a sustainable society and communication plays an important role in this collaboration. Otto Hedemo from Media and Communication Studies at JU will give a presentation about the topic and afterwards all participants are welcomed to take part in a conversation about what can make this kind of communication successful.

Sustainability Conversations is a series of digital lunch events that focuses on the transition to a more sustainable society. The ambition of the event series is to provide a platform where guest speakers, students, researchers, and an interested general public can share knowledge, experiences and thoughts about sustainability in a multidiciplinary environment. The events are organized by Jönköping University Sustainability Network (JUSN).

In this talk, I shall address a basic question in education:
How can students learn to put knowledge, developed in one context, to use in other contexts?

This question poses a major challenge for the educational systems of today because of the following conundrum: in contemporary society, people are required to traverse a range of different settings with different competence demands, and they often have to utilize knowledge across these different settings. However, several strands of research (e.g. practice theory, situated learning, embodied cognition) join in pointing out that knowledge is situated, i.e. acquires form and content from the context in which it is learnt.

Transfer of knowledge across settings is therefore no straightforward matter. It involves transformation of the situatedly learned knowledge so that it fits the new setting. Learning to do so emerges as crucial for students of today, and facilitating transformation becomes a key task for many educational systems.

In the talk, I present research on knowledge transformation, on design principles to support it, and on the implementation of specific learning designs in educational practice. The talk draws on the results of the recent project Designing for situated knowledge in a world of change (2015-2020), financed by the Independent Research Fund Denmark.
