The election for the CBH School's Faculty Board is moving forward. The election committee will present its proposal on 16 November and there will be an open hearing of the candidates on 28 November.

At the CBH School, 26 eligible candidates were nominated as teacher representatives to the School Faculty Board. The election committee has asked all candidates to submit a description of themselves, their motivation, and their suitability for the School Faculty Board. A selection of the candidates have been invited to interviews with the election committee.

On 16 November, the election committee will propose six teacher representatives for election to the School Faculty Board, but all nominated candidates will be on the ballot, if they so wish.

The election committee works to ensure that its recommendation of candidates reflects the diversity of the employees of the CBH School with respect to area of operation, professional background, and gender. Other criteria of importance include good standing among faculty, good knowledge of KTH and the CBH School, and an interest for the development of the university.

CBH’s Faculty Board

Faculty boards for each school will be established from 1 January 2024. These will be collegial preparatory and decision-making bodies that mainly make decisions that follow from ch. 2.

The faculty boards and the Faculty Council will together form a collegial structure for preparation and decisions regarding KTH's development in education, research and collaboration.
