Welcome to an inspiring afternoon about KTH's programmes and teaching
Welcome to Storträffen meetup VT-24. As usual, the spring semester's Storträffen meetup on education at all levels invites all teachers, students and staff at KTH and within the Stockholm trio university alliance. New and experienced participants are welcome. The opening and closing is in the plenary in Q1 where the Dean of faculty and others welcome you and KTH's pedagogical prize winner gives an introductory lecture. Most of the afternoon is devoted to group discussions in the classrooms of the Q building. At the spring semester Storträffen meetup, the main language is English in the plenary sessions, and many group discussions are also held in English.
