On 15 January, the KTH Center for Cyber Defense and Information Security (CDIS) was inaugurated, a collaboration between KTH and the Swedish Armed Forces. The centre will conduct research and train cyber soldiers, among other things. The collaboration is part of the Swedish Armed Forces' mission to further strengthen Sweden's cyber defence and ability to operate in the cyber domain, also called the fifth battlefield.

All employees at KTH are entitled to a wellness promotion subsidy to be used for activities such as gym cards, racquet sports, ball sports, team sports and swimming. You also have the right to one hour of wellness activities per week, during paid working hours. The healthcare allowance includes a maximum of 3000 SEK per calender year, from 1 January 2020.

The Crisis Group is assigned to resolve emergencies and guide the operation back to its standard position. The crisis organisation is summoned if the operation or a part of the operation has been the subject to crimes, threats, accidents, deaths, burglaries, threats to the IT system or threats to the ongoing operation. Take the opportunity to update yourself on EECS' crisis response organisation and read the new emergency plan. Here you can also find our emergency numbers.
