Mobile Life Centre

Mobile Life Centre was formed in 2006 at the initiative of Stockholm University. The topic of the Centre includes research on consumer-oriented mobile and ubiquitous services spanning all areas from entertainment and socialization to work and society. The Centre joins forces with local research organisations such as SICS and Interactive Institute. It has major partners from the IT and telecom industry, including Ericsson Research, TeliaSonera, Sony Ericsson, Nokia and Microsoft Research Ltd. Partnerships in the public sector, including City of Stockholm Municipality and Kista Science City secure societal relevance, and collaboration with Stockholm Innovation and Growth ensures that results are integrated in the innovation system. In the Centre, this academic, industrial and public partnership will be able to jointly work on strategically important projects that can provide a sustainable growth for Sweden. The Centre is government funded (by VINNOVA on a 10-year grant, 2007-2017). Mobile Life is led by Professor Oskar Juhlin.
