Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health (CBH)

Sweden is a leading innovator in the field of medical devices. But how can you ensure that the medical device you develop is safe and complies with EU regulations?

According to Björn-Erik Erlandsson, Professor and senior advisor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, knowledge is sometimes lacking. That’s why a practical handbook is now available for anyone involved in developing medical devices.

On the 4th of September, we're bringing back Campus Day in Flemingsberg. It is a collaboration between the universities in Flemingsberg and the idea is to create a sense of community on the Flemingsberg campus. In addition to KTH, Karolinska Institutet (KI), Swedish Red Cross University (RKH), Stockholm University College of Music Education (SMI) and Södertörn University will also be participating.

Meet CBH's new Management Secretary, who will work as secretary to the Faculty Board and as management support to the school management.

"I like to keep the administration running smoothly. The core business should just work and the administration should not really be noticed. I've stayed at KTH for 25 years in a lot of different places, which is really fun. I get the best of both, by being a social scientist in a natural science environment."

At the last Faculty Board meeting on June 12th, Christina Divne, CBH's Director of Third Cycle Education (FA), was invited to address the issue of reviewing the course component of the doctoral program.

KTH has a requirement that 60 credits within the doctoral program must consist of courses. Heads of department have expressed the view that this part is too large.

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.

Every week the CBH School's newsletter is published. Here you can read about important information, news articles, exciting activities and new interviews with colleagues.
