KTH’s collegial forum
The Faculty Council works with collegial foundation and dialogue across disciplines and subjects. The collegial forum is a meeting place for researchers and teachers at KTH. Issues that are important for research, teaching and collaboration, issues concerning the researcher's or teacher's own situation at KTH or KTH's development are discussed in the forum.
KTH is a single-faculty university, but in fact, it encompasses a great many disciplines, and the heterogeneity is a strength. The meetings of KTH’s collegial forum are intended to provide a platform where teachers and researchers can interact across disciplines and subjects and discuss topics that interest them, but the nature of which may vary among different disciplines.
KTH’s collegial forum is open to all researches and teachers. The language of KTH’s collegial forum is Swedish, but it is possible to post in English. Representatives from the schools’ doctoral student councils and a representative from The PhD student chapter (of the KTH student union) has the right to be co-opted as a member at the meetings.
KTH’s collegial forum is held once or twice per semester and are opened by an invited guest followed by discussion based on the theme.
KTH’s collegial forum is open to all researches and teachers.
