The President about the change programme Future Education at KTH

"We don't know what the future looks like, that's the inherent quality of the future. But we all have a responsibility to actually think and try to help create favourable conditions for the education of the future."

"It is for the students' education and for their future that we are doing this. It is challenging to do all this and to launch this programme right now. When we also have an economy that is somewhat strained with large cost increases. But at the same time, it is now that we have to do this and I hope we can combine the need for change that the pressure from the economy and the cost of premises has created with the pressure to develop the organisation in connection with this. And we're not doing it because we have to, as I said, or because someone else is dictating the terms. We are doing this because we want to improve and ensure that our students are well prepared for their future careers."
