On April 17, EMC and wireless communication at RISE in Borås had the pleasure of welcoming 21 ambitious students from Chalmers University of Technology. They are in the third year of the Biomedical Engineering program at Chalmers and are taking the "Electromagnetic environment, health and compatibility" course. The day was filled with presentations, tours and discussions about EMC and future communication technology.

The day began with lunch while the Chalmers students listened to presentations from the activities within EMC and wireless communication at RISE, focusing on various areas such as Information and Communication Technology (ICT), vehicles and research.

The guided tour included visits to several test chambers, including the impressive AWITAR. This chamber is the largest and most advanced in EMC in Northern Europe. With a capacity to handle objects up to 70 tonnes, AWITAR is at the forefront of technological innovation. The day ended with a coffee break where, among other things, the latest standards in the field were presented as well as an insight into some of the complex technical issues that RISE is working on.

"It is very valuable for the students to see how the theoretical knowledge they gain at Chalmers relates to practical problems handled daily by research institutes and industry," said Thomas Rylander, Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Chalmers.

In summary, the study visit was a fantastic opportunity for Chalmers students to get a first-hand experience of advanced testing and research in EMC and wireless communication, providing them with both insights into the latest technology and an opportunity to interact with experts in the field.
