Abstract

This paper presents the activities of the Applied IoT Lab at the Department of Computer Science and Media Technology, Linnaeus University (LNU), Kalmar, Sweden. The lab is actively engaged in IoT-based educational programs, including a series of workshops and pilot cases. The lab is funded by the European Union and two Swedish counties – Kalmar and Kronoberg. The workshops and pilot cases are part of the research project named IoT Lab for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). One of the lab’s main objectives is to strengthen and support local companies with IoT. The project IoT Lab for SMEs also aims to spread knowledge and inspire the local community about the possibilities of using IoT technologies by organizing open lab days, in-depth lectures, and seminars. This paper introduces Applied IoT Lab at LNU, its educational programs, and industry-academic cooperation, including workshops and a number of ongoing pilot cases.
