KTH Materials Platform Day 2019
The KTH Materials Platform Day is the annual workshop for materials related research at KTH. This year’s topic will be on metallic materials in connection with the 200 year celebration of Bergsskolan at KTH on 18 June. The workshop will highlight the contribution of research and education to solving the major challenges that humanity is facing in our time, including challenges related to the Earth's climate and effective management of resources.
Theme: Metallic Materials
A goal of the anniversary celebration is to highlight the forward-looking decision to focus on higher technical education and the successful research that has supported this endeavour. Lifelong education based on leading research has, together with entrepreneurship, laid the foundation for a strong Swedish industrial development.
With the Jubilee Conference we want to highlight the contribution of research and education to address the major challenges faced by humanity in our day. Challenges about the Earth's climate, the importance of a good environment, effective management of our resources and human needs for food and health care, for example.
In all these areas metallic materials are included as part of possible solutions, but it also requires the efficient use of the material and its properties, as well as the possibility of reuse and recycling. All this will require further development and deepening of our knowledge, and this knowledge will be conveyed to the students, who will be a key problem solver of the future!
