MANAGEMENT
"There's a lot that's important"
CBH has done an annual update of the school's three-year reform agenda, which is part of KTH's business plan.
"Our core activities is where we must devote most of our resources, to continue to conduct good research and provide good education. We do not have a single focus, but continue to have activities in the four different areas of education, research, study and work environment, and efficient use of resources," says CBH's Head of School Amelie Eriksson Karlström.

Network introduces new faculty members to CBH
A network for new faculty members shall provide accurate information about how things work at KTH and CBH, and offer all newcomers their own mentor.
“When you are new to an organisation, there is quite a lot to learn, and it is not always easy to get the information you need," says Mats Jonsson, who is Head of faculty renewal, FFA, at CBH.

New working group to broaden recruitment and participation
A new working group within CBH's faculty board will present a plan in December for broadening recruitment and participation in the school's educational programmes.
“It’s about the engineers of the future and access to expertise in society, but also about future colleagues and researchers. The groups we don’t really reach – young people from environments where studying is not the norm, or girls – don’t get a chance to contribute to their own development, CBH or society,” says Cristina Al-Khalili Szigyarto, member of the Faculty Board and of the new working group.
KTH has participated in a survey that tracks how university teaching is valued in academic careers. The survey is led by Dr. Ruth Graham, who will present the results and engage in a dialogue on how KTH can further improve in acknowledging teaching proficiency and further develop our education.
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.
