Cross‑functional teams crack complex challenges

What does it mean to work closely with researchers and teachers when providing support? This was the main question when our department-focused teams met in December. Now the next step is being taken – backed by the workshop results and continued dialogue with managers at the leadership retreat.

Next steps for closer administrative support

Wahl receives Equality Award

Professor Anna Wahl has been awarded the President’s Equality and Diversity Prize 2025. Read the interview in which she gives her view on how KTH can take advantage of the progress made and how the university can continue to work on change:

Election to the University Board – review electoral register at ITM

New teachers’ representatives are to be elected for the period May 2026 to April 2029 through an election. The election will be in March, and now it's time to review the electoral register. 

KTH-RES replaced by KTH-Expense 
– learn the new system

On 2 February, KTH-RES will be replaced by KTH-Expense (Hogia), a new system that simplifies the handling of expenses, mileage, and travel allowances directly on your mobile phone or computer. At the same time, a new way of working is introduced, where the travel request is removed.

Training sessions and additional support

Training sessions will be held on 2, 9, and 19 February via Zoom, in Swedish and English. For questions and extra support, there will be drop-in sessions via Zoom every Tuesday–Thursday from 9:00–11:00 starting 3 February. The link to the Zoom meetings can be found on the project page.   

Remember before the closure of KTH-RES

• Complete ongoing expense reports before the end of January.
• Address returned reports.
• If needed: download and save approved travel requests and expense reports.

New login routine for all employees and affiliates

The new login procedure for KTH's services and systems is called Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and it will become mandatory from 24 February 2026.

To do:

• Enable multi-factor authentication, MFA on your phone (work phone or personal phone)

The social role of researchers in times of conflict 

Collaboration is inscribed as one of the university's three tasks, and the discussion about the relevance of research is lively. But we rarely talk about when and if it is a mandatory requirement. When an issue that research has interested in becomes political and controversial, should researchers then clarify the discussion? Or are there, on the contrary, limits to a researcher's social engagement? 

On February 17, Folke Tersman, professor of practical philosophy at Uppsala University and deputy CEO of the Institute for Futures Studies, will open KTH's collegial forum with a presentation of different perspectives and considerations in relation to our social role.
