Engineering Sciences in Chemistry, Biotechnology and Health (CBH)

Peter Sillén, lecturer in Flemingsberg and Programme Director for the Bachelor of Science programme in Technology and Economics, has been named Teacher of the Year 2025 by THS. The prize was presented at a ceremony in Stockholm City Hall.

“What characterises Peter’s teaching is that he is committed and pedagogically skilled and inspires students to develop their own learning," THS writes in its award statement.

On 15 December, MTH Day was held at the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Health Systems. To kick off the day, Gustav Amberg presented his report on KTH's future presence in Flemingsberg.

"There is no reason to do anything dramatic; no one will have to move. There are many opportunities here that people on Valhallavägen are unaware of. I have also received this information from President Anders Söderholm," says Professor Gustav Amberg, who has been commissioned by the President of KTH to investigate KTH's future in Flemingsberg.

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.

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.

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.
