Early registration: KTH-Sustainability Research Day 21 October
KTH-Sustainability Research Day on October 21 is a day where KTH's research on environment and sustainable development are presented and debated. Society is facing great challenges, and we need to clearly understand in what ways and to what extent research can contribute to sustainable solutions. This year we ask the question "What does society require of KTH's research?". Register here.
