Communications at ITM

The Communications Team works with internal and external communication and supports you as an employee when you have information you want to reach out with. Do you need a film that conveys your research? Did you open a new center that needs a website, or do you want to sharpen your writing skills? Here you get examples of what you can get help with.

Dream big

Strategic partner

Contact us early in the planning of a conference or a new center so we can carve out target groups, messages and communication strategy together.

This is what we can

"No request should get stuck at us." Within the unit, we can write, take photos, produce videos, publish on the web, review your presentation and much more. If we do not have time or the right skills, we are the link to support at KTH or to an external party.

Training and networks

You are KTH's link to the outside world and it matters how you communicate. Therefore, our mission is also to teach you to be a better communicator. ITM's web editors' network  and the Spread your research  campaign are two examples.

What do you need help with?

Reach out with your news

In order to create impact, it is important that we tell the outside world what we are working on. Cherish your media contacts, meet the media in a professional way, and let us know if you have news that could become an article, a notice or a press release. Sometimes the ITM school's communicators write and sometimes it is KTH's content group that does the work, depending on the target group.

Update your profile page

The profile pages are among KTH's most visited pages. The profile page is your place to describe yourself and your work, both for external stakeholders and for employees at KTH.

Arrange an event

It is worth paying a little attention to an event, even if it is "just" a seminar. Reaching the right target group, making them want to participate and then getting to know what they thought, makes a seminar more meaningful.

Film production

Video is excellent in some cases. For shorter film productions for web and social media, ITM's communications officers can handle everything from script to end product. If you need a professional production, we can put you in touch with KTH's media production or advertising agency.

Contact infomaster@itm.kth.se if you need a film

Photographing

If you need high-quality photos, we will put you in touch with one of our procured photographers. Then a half day with a photographer costs around SEK 7,500, which results in up to 10 photos. ITM communicators can take your portrait.

Contact infomaster@itm.kth.se with your photo request

Web publishing

If you need help publishing on the web, there are designated editors who take care of it. There is also a webmaster for the ITM school who provides advice on structure, policies and web ergonomics.

Use social media

The ITM School coordinates the LinkedIn pages Materials Science at KTH and Energy at KTH. KTH communicates in a number of social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik-Tok, LinkedIn and Youtube). Feel free to use your personal profile pages in social media, but do not start an organization page without first consulting the school or VS communicators.

Learn to communicate on your own

Making your research results visible in other channels, than scientific journals, means that more people can come into contact with the research. You thereby increase the chances of more people reading, discussing and sharing your articles. Within Spread your research , the ITM school collects tips, checklists, courses and lectures that can make you a better communicator.
