Environment and sustainable development

KTH contributes to sustainable development by providing educational programmes, conducting research and by interacting with the surrounding community. Through its activities, KTH also impacts the environment in practical terms through the consumption of materials and water, energy and chemicals, travel and transport and construction, and indirectly through purchasing and procurement.

Stricter requirements for managing personal data

Clearer, more uniform and more transparent. The new General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) contains stricter and to some extent new requirements for managing personal data. Work is currently underway at KTH Royal Institute of Technology on adapting and strengthening existing systems. A web-based distance learning programme will also provide KTH staff with tools to deal with the new rules.
