Experiment in the Sustainable Power Lab.

KTH invites interested parties to visit our exciting and world-leading research environments during 'lab tours'. A lab tour is one and a half hours long and consists of visits to two or three different labs. A guide leads each lab tour, and the group consists of between 10-15 participants.

Information regarding the event, such as starting point, will be sent to you in a separate e-mail after registration. The event will follow recommended guidelines and restrictions for events during covid-19. Information on this topic will be given at the beginning of each tour.

Tour 1 (English)

Registration

Fusion Experiment EXTRAP T2R

The EXTRAP T2R is a major experimental facility for fusion research. Here researchers study alternative magnetic confinement configurations which have the potential to produce fusion plasmas. Some experimental areas include plasma-wall interaction and the development of spectroscopic diagnostics for the evaluation of plasma parameters

Anechoic chamber

In this lab, researchers develop measurements of electromagnetic antennas from 2-40GHz. It is an anechoic chamber, but there is no electromagnetic echo in the room at those frequencies.

PDC Center for High Performance Computing

Visit the most powerful supercomputer in the Nordic countries! During the tour, you will get insights in how it is built and used for research. PDC Center for High Performance Computing is one of six supercomputer

Tour 2 (Swedish)

During tour 2, you will visit two mid-size research environments.

Registration

Smart mobility lab and Integrated Transport research lab

I Smart Mobility Lab (SML) och Integrated Transport Research Lab (ITRL) forskar man på framtidens transporter och trafik. På SML arbetar man med utveckling och tester av lösningar för intelligenta transportsystem och självkörande bilar med hjälp av simulering och modeller. På ITRL arbetar KTH tillsammans med Scania med att utveckla och demonstrera nya hållbara transportsystem.

Sustainable Power Lab

På SPL pågår forskning, utveckling och utbildning i ämnet elteknik. Labbet tittar på prototyputveckling och test av kraftelektronik, antenner, elmaskiner och drivsystem. Här ingår också högspänningslabbet som man använder för forskning inom högspänning, isolationsmaterial och komponenter i elkraftssystem. I labbet finns utrustning för impulsurladdningar och elektrostatiska experiment.

Tour 3 (Swedish)

During tour 2, you will visit the Odqvist Laboratory, a large research environment with a wide range of labs.

Registration

Odqvistlaboratoriet

Välkommen till KTH:s labb för teknisk mekanik! Här får du en genomgång av ett antal olika miljöer, bland annat en sju meter lång vindtunnel, och ett helt ljudisolerat rum i Labbet för ljud och vibrationer.

Nobel Calling

KTH's lab tours are part of Nobel Calling, a project led by the Nobel Foundation. The purpose of Nobel Calling is to gather activities within research and science in Stockholm during the week in October when the Nobel prizes are announced. This year, the event takes place 4-11 October.

Visit the Nobel Calling website to see what else is happening i Stockholm during the week.
