Summary of projects starting in 2023 for the future of education at KTH

Published May 10, 2023

Future Education projects starting in 2023 are carried out by KTH schools or other organisational units within, or related to, KTH. Three major themes can be identified: programme development, sustainability and digitalisation. Most projects can be mapped to several of the framework's areas and/or principles. But even when mapping a project's most dominant principle, the projects are well distributed across the framework.

Find a complete overview of the projects' mapping to the framework's areas/principles in the table further down the page.

Please note that the project information is current.

MORE ABOUT THE PROJECTS STARTING IN 2023

Listen to a podcast about the projects

Listen to the podcast episode Fikasnack about the projects starting 2023  on Spotify / Youtube / KTH Play .

Participate in the Storträffen Meetup on 26 May

Future Education programme will briefly present the projects orally and via posters. Depending on how the voting (voting deadline is 12 May) goes, some projects will have their discussion boards. An after-talk is planned for further discussion (probably in the Reactor hall). See the programme, vote (by 12/5) and register

Read on the web

The projects are just in the start-up phase. When more information is available, it will be published on the web pages of Future Education at KTH .

Mapping to the areas and principles of the framework

The Future Education framework consists of 13 principles clustered in 5 areas (A-E). The mapping of projects to the framework is presented in tabular form below. In the table, *programme development, **sustainability, ***digitalisation.
