...look forward to finding information about the new projects batch 2024
The programme management is collecting the project initiation documents for projects starting in 2024: about 15 brand new school projects plus about 10 KTH joint ones that include all schools. The initiation documents will, from late summer forward, be continuously published on project web pages and our activity pages.
Until then, you can read reports (A3 model, or read highlights on the English project pages) of the 2023 project batch. About 10 projects will continue/start in 2024.
Future Education at KTH is a change programme with a framework that will help us to be proactive and structure our development work of KTH's education based on a long-term holistic perspective.
The framework consists of 13 principles clustered in 5 areas.
See presentations (incl. project initiation documents) and contact persons for the schools' development projects. (Some project initiation documents and some pages in English are yet to be done).
Fika Chat on the KTH-joint AI project taking off this autumn
This autumn, a number of new development projects will be launched within the framework of Future Education at KTH. As was the case last year, most of the projects are fairly limited in time and scope and "belong" to a school. New this year are a number of KTH-wide projects that in many cases build on last year's development projects. In this episode, Arnold Pears talks about one of the new development projects: "Pedagogical use of AI in teaching".
Fika Chat about KTH's planned move of two campuses
In November last year, KTH's Board decided to concentrate operations on three campuses - KTH Campus on Valhallavägen, in Solna and in Flemingsberg. This means that the operations in Södertälje and Kista will move to KTH Campus and Flemingsberg. It's a big decision that affects many people, not least students and employees at KTH. In this episode, KTH's Deputy President Mikael Lindström talks about the move.
Fika Chat about a development project on experimental environments at KTH
The possibility of combining theory with practice, in the form of lab exercises or practical work in experimental environments, is a feature of all engineering and architectural education. Magnus Wiktorsson and Martin Edin Grimheden have led a project to see how to coordinate some different experimental environments at KTH. The project is called Product Innovation and Manufacturing Open Lab (PRIMO Lab). In this episode they talk about the project.
