Inspiration and Dialogue Meeting, theme: Regional Development and Growth, 22 April 2026
Do you conduct research on housing, growth, gender equality, integration, public health, land use, ecological and social sustainability, resilience and preparedness – or on how to organize effective governance and development processes?
Are you interested in finding an exciting new collaboration and new funding for your research? As a researcher at KTH, you are welcome to a half‑day event focused on KTH and Region Stockholm’s annual call Traffic and Region .
The purpose is to inspire you to apply for funding from the Traffic and Region call and to create dialogue between researchers and representatives from Region Stockholm.
The call targets researchers working on topics such as urban development, housing issues, supply systems, climate, and strengthening regional preparedness. We also welcome research projects exploring how physical planning can create conditions for improved public health, social sustainability, and a sustainable societal transition.
For a project proposal to be granted funding, a clear connection to Region Stockholm’s operations is required.
Date: 22 April 2026 at 14:00-15:30
Place: Valhallavägen 79, KTH Campus
Register no later than 15 April.
For enquiries about the call, please contact KTH RSO Malin Linngård, maliol@kth.se .
During the meeting, you will have the opportunity to discuss your research ideas directly with representatives from Region Stockholm. The aim is to create a dialogue with the ambition of identifying how academic expertise in transport, mobility and systems thinking can contribute to the region’s strategic goals.
The number of seats is limited — first come, first served.
