Internal Environmental Audit weeks 43-44 The annual internal environmental audit is carried out during v.43 and v.45. Audits are carried out to confirm that the operations live up to the requirements of the environmental management standard ISO 14001: 2015 and Ordinance (2009: 907) environmental management in government agencies. The audit aims to identify areas for improvement.
The focus areas for this year's internal environmental audit are:
- Sustainability requirements in the procurement of consulting services regarding support for the implementation of a course.
- Operating systems to support the work of following up KTH's environmental and climate goals: System Support Wisum (IT products), System Support Wisum and Klara (Chemicals), System Support Edge (Research), System Support Pythagoras (Property).
- Vice Presidents' support in connection with the follow-up of KTH's sustainability objectives and climate objectives.
More information about the internal environmental audit Students wanted - International Climate Connect project. Are you a third year student who want to participate in an international climate project? KTH is currently involved in an exciting collaborative project before and during COP 26 under the name Climate Connect, which involves students from different parts of the world gathering and discussing climate issues together under the leadership of Strathclyde U in Glasgow (where the COP 26 meeting takes place).

KTH Debatt - Vad ska vi med universiteten till i framtiden? 15 Sep Vad ska vi med universiteten till i framtiden? Hur ser studenten på lärande och kunskap år 2050? Kommer dagens utbildning vara utdöd då och vilka förmågor krävs för en tidsresa av detta slag? Nya format och ökad flexibilitet kommer förmodligen att efterfrågas. Klarar lärarna de dubbla rollerna eller behöver de kompetensutvecklas för att behärska både utbildning på campus och online? Läs mer

FORMAS: Urgent call 2021 – Ensuring the future availability of data or research materials The urgent need to ensure access to research data must be based on a phenomenon or sudden situation that could not be predicted. The data should show great promise to lead to significant scientific results and real-world impact.
Open access to research data helps to accelerate research by giving more researchers the opportunity to use and build on the material. In this urgent call, the availability of the research data produced in the projects is vital.
