Climathon 2025 : Kick-Off

Competition Overview
Step into the Climathon and reimagine how the KTH Climate Action House and its surroundings can be redesigned and organised to drive meaningful climate action! Organised by the KTH Climate Action Centre in collaboration with Akademiska Hus and KTH Live-In Lab, this competition challenges you to pitch bold, creative, and feasible ideas that can make our shared spaces more sustainable, inclusive, and inspiring.

This is your chance to propose how spatial design, technology, art, and community engagement can come together to reshape the future of campus life.

Why Join?
Work in interdisciplinary teams, receive expert guidance, and present your project to a jury of professionals. Stand out by contributing to a real-world transformation - and earn recognition while doing it.

The winning team will be offered a certificate and a choice of either 3 weeks’ employment and mentorship in June or August to further develop their plans in collaboration with Akademiska Hus, or a monetary award of 5000 SEK per person.

Who Can Join?
All students from KTH, SU, and KI are welcome, especially those eager to work across disciplines. You can apply solo or with a friend, and teams of 3 people will be formed. For single applications, we will pair you with other team members that share your vision or could give new perspectives. For team applications, we encourage you to find teammates from different schools and programs to promote diverse ideas.
