Fika Chat on new development projects within Future Education at KTH

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.

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.
