Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health (CBH)

Mats Nilsson, a long-time Director of First and Second Cycle Education and key figure at the School of Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health, CBH, has passed away after a long period of illness.

Mats Nilsson was a well-known and highly appreciated teacher, colleague and Programme director who over the years held many roles within the education system at KTH.

Have you seen the new poster in the kitchen? After the report on ‘Double Discrimination Against Women’ was published, the JML group at CBH felt it was more urgent than ever to raise awareness of the causes and mechanisms that promote inequality.

This led to a poster campaign, with posters displayed in kitchens throughout CBH School. The first poster in the campaign is now up.

When Rose-Marie Hammar decides to step down, Christina Persson will take over as programme manager at the Foundation year programme on campus together with Anders Clenander. Christina – the door sign says Cia – is looking forward to sharing the responsibility with Anders, who will retain his previous role.

KTH no longer needs to request original receipts from the person who has had expenses, if the receipt is scanned, readable and saved in the travel administration system.

Reviewers of travel and expenses must check that scanned receipts are clearly readable and the employee who made the expense must save the receipts until reimbursement is received.

The next step in the development of KTH's University Administration, UA, is that staff in HR, finance and communication will be co-organized within each area from the first of April 2024. This is one of several points decided by the President in an orientation decision on how UA will be organized in the future.

The CBH School works actively for a sustainable development on several levels. Our research and education contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, we have an environmental management system and is a workplace that strives for increased sustainability in our daily processes.
