Personal mobility
People move between the academic and commercial sectors, which means we can ensure that KTH’s education and research is relevant to both industry and society. Here, you can find out more about different kinds of personnel exchange, and how your research group can go about securing a position.
Exchanges from industry to academia
Adjunct professor
An adjunct professor should contribute knowledge and experience from their specialist field, as well as their external networks, to strengthen the education and research at KTH and ensure that it is of high international quality. An adjunct professor is part of the KTH adjunct faculty and works within an area of research in which the professor contributes to research and education.
Appointment process for an adjunct professor
Affiliated faculty
Affiliated faculty refers to a collaboration between KTH and a company or other organisation, aiming to deepen the exchange of knowledge in a subject area. The position may be meritorious for docent qualification, and therefore for later employment as an adjunct professor at KTH.

Industry-employed doctoral students
Students who study for a doctoral degree at KTH while also being employed in industry are important sources for exchanging knowledge with individuals and organisations outside the academic field.

Exchanges from KTH to industry
A part-time placement with an external organisation is a great way to gain new experiences and make valuable contacts. The movement of people from academia boosts alliances and the exchange of knowledge between the university and other stakeholders in society.
