KTH is one of nine technical universities in Europe that are part of the university alliance Unite! - University Network for Innovation, Technology and Engineering. The aim is to create a new European university model through joint educational programs, virtual and physical mobility, and innovative pedagogical methods.

The Unite! training catalogue presents professional development opportunities for teachers, researchers and administrative and technical staff in all nine Unite! universities and aims to provide participants with useful tools and resources. The catalogue contains a large selection of training courses selected by experts from the Unite! universities.

The courses complement existing university offerings and cover a wide range of topics, including pedagogy, professional development, multiculturalism and internationalisation of working practices.

The courses are offered in a variety of formats ranging from two hours to several days either online or on-site and are generally delivered in English. For physical or hybrid courses, teachers, researchers and administrative staff at KTH can apply for a grant for travel and accommodation through Erasmus + Staff Mobility in Europe .

Support for working with Metacampus

Unite! Metacampus is the alliance’s digital platform that enables access to the range of programmes and activities and interactive spaces that are offered through Unite! and the nine universities of the alliance. The platform is based on Moodle and is the main point of interaction for anyone who is admitted to an activity. Unite! offers a free self-study course in Metacampus and serves as an introduction to the platform. It is intended to be a first point of contact for users unfamiliar with Metacampus. The course contains basic information about what Metacampus is, what its possibilities are and how to use it. The course is aimed at teachers, students and administrative staff.
