PhD Impact
The PhD IMPACT project is an independent initiative from different branches of KTH staff (HR, Equality Office, professors and PhD students). Our goal is to foster a welcoming and inclusive environment, creating safe spaces for open dialogues about gender-related matters.
Our Vision
We believe in promoting awareness and knowledge to drive meaningful change and empower every individual. The idea is to amplify the conversation – so that it is heard by all – and boost equality.We envision a campus where diversity thrives, and equality is a cornerstone. We recognize the need for a cultural shift, and act on that by fostering knowledge sharing and dialogue for individuals of all genders. Our vision is to create a harmonious community where everyone feels valued and heard.
Values we stand by
Equality: Advocate for fairness and equality in all career levels and tracks at KTH.
Inclusivity: Embrace diversity and celebrate the richness it brings to our community.
Education: Promote continuous learning and awareness to break down barriers.
Support: Provide a supportive network for everyone to thrive.
Previous workshops
How to reduce inequalities in everyday life as a PhD
This crucial conversation will delve into recognizing discrimination and patterns of bias, how to react towards them, and most importantly, how to minimize them. We start with a seminar by Roh Petas (KTH Equality Office) followed by mediated discussions.
Gender inequalities in academic daily life
Information about how inequalities affects the personal life and the research outcome for a person not following the norm as a male person at KTH. What are the consequences for a PhD student that women's experiences and life are regarded less important than the male experience in the world as a whole? Learn about KTH:s policies regarding discrimination, harassment, sexual harassment and victimization. With more knowledge about gender inequalities in the world and KTH and information about your rights as an employee at KTH:s we can take steps towards a brighter future.
