Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health (CBH)

Lars Wågberg, Professor of Fibre Technology at CBH School, receives the prestigious Anselme Payen Award 2024.

“It is of course an honour and I am especially pleased with my research group, which often exceeds the high expectations I have of them. You do very little alone!”

In January 2024, school faculty boards were introduced at KTH. A few months have passed and the boards have started working properly. Elsa Berlin represents the students in the Faculty Board of the CBH School and is the youngest member of the board – but of all the members, she might have most experience from elected positions.

"Ever since I was a child, I have been passionate about education and have wanted to influence my education."

Veronique Chotteau leads a multidisciplinary research group that is the only one of its kind in Sweden and one of the few in the world. After more than ten years in industry developing processes to produce biopharmaceuticals, she came to KTH in 2008. Since November, she has been a professor of mammalian cell-based bioprocess technology.

"It's fun for me personally, but also a sign that CBH thinks the subject area is necessary in both research and education," says Veronique Chotteau.

From autumn 2024, KTH will be the only university in Sweden to offer a 3-year Bachelor of Science programme in Chemical Engineering. For those who want to contribute to making the planet a little better and work for sustainable solutions to global challenges, Chemical Engineering is a good programme. Clean water, climate, pharmaceuticals, or food security – these are issues you can work on after graduation.

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.
