About

Mats Daniels is a leading researcher in computing education, with a primary focus on collaborative learning and international teamwork in engineering. His most influential work centers on the Runestone project, a pioneering initiative that connects universities in Sweden, Finland, and China to give third-year engineering students authentic experience in global, cross-cultural teamwork. This work, cited 31 times, has become a cornerstone for understanding how to develop global teamwork skills in higher education. Daniels also made significant contributions through his study of multi-level project work, which explored interdisciplinary collaboration by combining three distinct student groups to create a novel educational framework. His research has shaped how educators design large-scale, collaborative projects that prepare students for the realities of modern engineering practice. With a career dedicated to breaking down classroom walls and fostering international cooperation, Daniels’ work remains highly relevant for institutions seeking to equip students with the communication and collaboration skills essential for a globalized workforce.
