Moderator: Elina Eriksson
Keynote speakers: Christina Lindbäck, Senior Vice President Sustainability, NCC; Christian Baresel, PhD, IVL; and Gloria Gallardo Fernández, Director of Research Studies at CEFO, Uppsala University.
KTH graduates act as a driving force in social and technological development and the engineers and architects of the future must be able to provide sustainable solutions. The knowledge and tools KTH provides the students with today will influence the society of tomorrow. It is therefore important that we continually develop our courses and programmes so that they have a clear link to societal needs and provide knowledge for graduates' future professions.
We are pleased that many joined us at KTH-Sustainability Education Day to discuss innovative ways to integrate sustainability into a wide range of course modules, programs and doctoral studies.
