Background
.
Why Future Education?
The purpose of the programme is to ensure that KTH's education remains attractive and relevant in a rapidly changing and uncertain world. The vision is that KTH – as a world-leading university – attracts, educates and further educates engineers, architects, teachers and researchers with the broad and deep competencies required for a sustainable societal development.
To contribute to this, Future Education will:
Strengthen KTH's ability to drive systematic educational development
Support knowledge sharing and a culture of change
Develop direction for complex and strategically important common areas
Contribute to international collaboration within strategic educational development.
Future Education is allocated funds each calendar year to initiate strategically important development initiatives. The programme management decides on the distribution of these funds based on an established
process
in which Future Education and the schools' Directors of first and second cycle education (GA) collaborate. During Q1, all employees at KTH can submit proposals for projects within educational development. The programme has templates that support the initiation of the projects, and the results of the implementation are reported semi-annually.
Principle framework
As a base for the development work there is a
principle framework
which has been decided by the President (applies from 1 July 2022). The framework consists of 13 principles grouped into 5 areas (A-E).
Project portfolio
Today more than 100
projects
(over 25/year were decided during 2023-2026) exist, with different focus and scope. More to come in 2027. An important part of the programme's activities is to assess which project results should be used throughout KTH and to support the work of scaling up and implementing them.
