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".
