Where we want to go, what we want to be, what we could do better by leveraging a collaborative partnership
• The mission of the KTH Transport Platform is to be an effective and efficient vehicle for delivering multidisciplinary research aiming for transport solutions servicing the society of tomorrow
• We want to integrate policy, vehicle technology, infrastructure and systems research to transform the transport system into a greener, smarter, and safer system
• We realizes that the problems we are facing today related to the transport sector require both research excellence and bold initiatives at the global level and international networks of world leading universities sharing the same vision.

ICT at KTH - Where we are today (figures from 2009)
A strong Research environmentAnnual turnover 95 M Euro External funding 40 M Euro
Research Groups 30 Professors 90 Research Centers 15
An international Education environmentPost graduate students 430 Master students 1500Strong domination of foreign students which may change due to new
fees Few swedish students chose a term abroad
An already working local Innovation systemKTH InnovationKTH Business Liasion Stockholm Innovation & Growth (STING)
Good collaboration with Research InstitutesSICS, ACREO and FOI
A strong Industrial environmentKista Science City with large companies like Ericsson and many SMEs, 500 ICT companies and 20.000 employees locallybut low mobility between Academia and industry
29
ICT at KTH - Where we want to go
An even stronger Research environmentBetter sýnergies between KTH schools and centers through platform initiatives
More tight interaction with institutes (learning from US and European practises)
Strengthened national and Europeans research consortia (e.g SRAs and EIT KICs)
Bilateral aggreements with international partner universities focussed on targeted research groups and research centers
A balanced Education environment
Improved examination rates and balanced funding models
A stable influx of foreign students with a balance between different sources:
EU, US and far east tuned to realistic fee levelsMore swedish students chosing to study a term abroad
A more internationalized Innovation system and stronger interactions with industry
Connecting Innovation Hubs in different European regions (EIT KICs)
Learning from the innovation system and industrial collaboration schemes in US
Internships, guest positions, mentor programsImproved fund raising capabilities
Possibilities for collaboration
•Research
•School of Earth Society and Environment
•Scandinavian Studies•History•College of Media
•Student exchange•Theory and Methodology of Science
•Research Ethics•Environmental History•Energy and Geopolitics•Swedish Society, Culture and Industry in Historical Perspective

On Engineering Education• Here's what we are: • A university with highly set goals to
“produce” the best engineers who can really engineer!
• CDIO – our framework for engineering education design
• What we do well: • CDIO development & implementation since
the start 2000, now with >50 collaborators• Experienced in integration of technical
knowledge and engineering skillsOur strengths and successes:• Systematic program makeover at KTH
using the CDIO approach• Course level – program level alignment• 10 years of systematic use of design-
build projects• Willing and able!
Educating Engineers who can Engineer
• Here's where we want to go:• To the place where the students
get what they came for – already from the start
• To the place where programs and courses are aligned, in good sequence and build progression
• What we could do better by leveraging a collaborative partnership:
• Widen our perspective and learn from your iFoundry etc
• Give students a wider perspective
• Become better educators!
• What we want to be: • The best educators in the class• Recognized as progressive
