The anniversary book and the story of KTH
Timing the 200th anniversary, a coffee table book about KTH is being produced, placing KTH in a societal perspective for a broad audience.
The story of KTH is largely about shaping modern Sweden and finding technical solutions to the challenges of each era. The latest book and historical compilation about KTH was made in 1962, so it's time for us to dig a little deeper into our own history and our societal role. The anniversary book will be the most enduring product of this work, but the material will be used for much more; on the web, in social media and in physical exhibitions for example.
The book is written as an anthology, with different authors for different chapters depending on their area of expertise. Read more about the book here .
