Manifesto of the language committee The language committee should:

* define which new activities are required for the policy to be implemented and estimate the costs,
* disseminate information on the policy inside and outside KTH,
* monitor language issues at KTH and in society so that the policy is kept up-to-date,
* act as a resource when important decisions with language issues are to be taken at KTH,
* collect data on how language is used at KTH, for example language of instruction in courses at different levels, language of course literature, language in degree projects and theses, language at thesis defences and docent lectures, language competence of international students, PhD students and teachers,
* conduct investigations that may effect the language policy in the future, for example new students' and teachers' desires for language competence, the industry's desire for language competence of engineers.
