The “Våga fråga” (dare to ask) campaign is now starting on our campuses to make KTH safer and more secure. 13-14 April, a number of young people will paste stickers with the message "Dare to ask who you let in" (in Swedish: “Våga fråga vem du släpper in”) above all card readers on KTH Campus.
KTH is now ranked among the top 100 universities worldwide in engineering, technology and natural sciences, according to the latest QS World University Rankings by Subject 2024. KTH ranks 37th in the subject area of Engineering & Technology, and 64th in the subject area of Natural Sciences.
"It is fantastic to see KTH continue to climb established rankings and show successful development in various subjects. It demonstrates KTH's high quality and competitiveness in technology and science," KTH's Deputy President Mikael Lindström says.
Who has received what when it comes to funding? What findings, results and researchers have attracted attention outside KTH? Under the vignette Newsmakers, we provide a selection of people in the limelight at KTH.
Three new honorary doctors have been appointed: Lena Nordlund, Laura Cozzi and Jens Nielsen. This year KTH is honoring a world leading scientist in synthetic biology, a science journalist, and a leader that shapes global energy policy.

To help you along the way, there is a digital training programme which deals with KTH's sustainability goals and the work being done to achieve them.
