“Both men and women gravitate toward power”
Why do outdated masculine ideals persist in some work places despite a growing awareness about equality? The short answer is "unequal distribution of power," says KTH researcher Charlotte Holgersson, who examines "homosocial cultures" in the research programme Men in Focus.

New routine for paper receipts for expensesApplicable on all expenses made after 1 July, 2024. KTH no longer requests original receipts from your expenses. However, the receipt must be scanned, readable and saved in the travel administration system.
- Paper receipts are scanned and attached in KTH-RES by the employee who made the expense.
- Receipts must always be scanned separately, with one receipt per expense.
- The employee must save the receipt until the expense has been approved and reimbursement is received.
- Receipts no longer need to be sent or submitted to the reviewer.
- The reviewer checks and ensures that the scanned receipt is readable. If not, the reviewer asks for the receipt to be re-uploaded.
