Royal recognition for steel research
Receiving a prestigious scholarship is always a milestone. Receiving it from the King of Sweden makes it even more memorable. When Carl XVI Gustaf handed KTH researcher
Yu-Chiao Lu (Ishana) a scholarship she had brought something for the King as well.

Read the report on the school's research
A fresh report maps ITM’s research performance and impact using complementary bibliometric and cluster analyses. It will be a
foundation for the school's strategic work. The shool's results are overall strong, with above-world-average citation impact and notable international presence, but there are variations across units. Read the report ITM-skolans forskningsportfölj (Sharepoint in Swe) |

Project
update: Neighborhood-based support
A project is underway to develop a proposal for organising support for facilities, security, and related services in a more neighbourhood-based structure at KTH. The aim is also to clarify and coordinate other day-to-day services, making them easier to use and more consistent across KTH. By 30 June, the project will give a proposal for further review before a decision is made. About

MFA will
become mandatory for students on September 1, 2026
MFA (multi-factor authentication) remains the single most important security measure to protect KTH’s IT systems against various types of attacks or intrusions. KTH is now taking the next step by introducing MFA for all students starting September 1, 2026.
Information
to new and current students will be sent at the end of week 23. When selecting
the date for mandatory MFA, consideration was given to programme students’ course
registration period, which closes on August 31.
During this
past spring, the Examination Administration has tested procedures for exams in
computer labs and will provide additional staffing during the digital
examinations in the autumn.
