Research for knowledge
and development
MDH’s research leads to necessary knowledge and development – for Swedish industry and welfare, but also to solve some of the global challenges. The greatest part of research is conducted in cooperation with the private and the public sectors.
How does this happen when newly-hired auditing staff are fostered to become auditors?
Auditors are important so that the economic system will function. But what really happens when newly-hired auditing employees at audit firms are fostered to become auditors? And why do so many newly recruited employees quit the profession after a couple of years? Researchers at Mälardalen University (MDH) are currently investigating this matter.

A sustainable private sector requires long-term, sound management of profit, loss and shareholder’s equity. This applies to both large and small limited liability companies. During the Corona pandemic, several large and small financial support packages have been launched by the Government to save jobs and businesses. Researchers at Mälardalen University (MDH) are currently studying how shareholders' management of equity in times of crisis has changed.

On 1 January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development — adopted by world leaders — officially came into force. Over the next fifteen years countries will mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind. This is how MDH work with the sustainable development goals.
AI for more efficient production of hydropower
The research project SnowSat is currently underway to improve the production and storage of hydropower using artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet-of-Things (IoT). The research contributes to Sweden's goal of zero emissions and helps society adapt to climate change.

In future it will be possible for us to extract nutrients from our wastewater, to be used as fertiliser in agriculture for example. In an ongoing research project at Mälardalen University (MDH) this possibility is being explored, with a view simultaneously to create a circular society where we recycle both water and nutrients.
