Great welcome reception for students at EIT ICT Master School

Published Sep 04, 2013

The EIT ICT Master School approved 55 new students to Masters programme in ICT Innovation this year and has held a reception together with the second year students to welcome the new students.

It was crowded, but in a busy and positive sense, when KTH welcomed the majority of the 55 new students and the 15 second year students to the Masters Programme in ICT Innovation.

This year will not only see an increase in the number of students. As it is the first time that the second year is held, the track for Internet Technologies and Architecture also opens besides the other three options that have run previously - Digital Media Technology, Embedded Systems and Human Computer Interaction and Design.

Konrad Tollmar, Master Programme coordinator for the ICT Innovation programme, greeted the numerous students and gave a brief presentation about the research in Mobile Services at the department of Communication Systems where he is Associate Professor. Gunnar Landgren, Node Director of EIT ICT Labs Stockholm, continued with a presentation of the local partner network and opportunities in the ecosystem in Kista.

The faculty representatives and teachers gave each a brief overview of their respective course contents to help the students make their selections of elective courses.

As inspiration for the newcomers two former students projects were showcased – the RunTroll application which helps people have fun and combine gaming with staying healthy and exercise, and the C3 calendar project that in a clever way shows conflicts in your and other (colleageus, family or friends) calendars to try to help you to plan better. 
There was much talking and interactions over a buffet with swedish delicacies. The new students also got a tour of the facilities and an introduction to Swedish equality culture.
