KTH Research and Collaboration
Björn Birgisson, Vice President for Research
Competing Orders in Functional MaterialsJoint KTH-Los Alamos Workshop 2013-06-03
Processes to support and effective and efficient research environment
Created new platforms in key technology areas•New organization and business models
• ”Horizontal” information, S&T clusers, distributed production of research
• Strong collaboration and competition, address multi-stakeholders and responsible development
•Reward quality• RAE every four years (2008 and 2012)• Culture of ”Continuous Improvement!” through links to
resource allocation system
•Introduced evaluation of Economic and Social Impact of research
• KTH is the first university in Sweden to introduce a new comprehensive process for ”measuring” and describing the wider impact of research

KTH Transport Platform Strategy
Mission”Reason for being”
Effective and efficient vehicle for delivering innovation oriented multidisciplinary research – under a multi-stakeholder partnership – servicing the society of tomorrow
Strategic Research Areas at KTH
• In June 2009, KTH was awarded 240 Mkr/year from the Strategic Research Call run by the Swedish government
• KTH will take part in 11 strategic research programmes
• Five of these programmes will be managed by KTH
1.ICT – the Next Generation2.Biotech: Science for Life Laboratory3.Transport: TrenOp4.E-Science: Swedish E-Science Centre 5.Production Engineering: XPRESS
• In additon KTH will play a substantial role in:1.Energy: StandUp in partnership with Uppsala University

Materials Research at KTH
History
Industrial sectors for a Swedish Technical University
History
•Long tradition of Material Science at KTH- KTH has over 50% of the Swedish research in fiber and
polymer science- KTH is the largest centre in Sweden for Engineering
Materials- KTH is a national hub for electronic and photonic
materials
• There are a very large number of centers of excellence in these fields
Structure of Material Research
Materials core:Polymer, Steel, semiconductor materials, etc
Physics, Chemistry
Comp. Deve.Construction
Materials – New (Inter)National Tools
MAX-IV and ESS
Life Science Technologies
at KTH= Medical Technology + Biotechnology + Pharma

The academic landscape in the Stockholm-Uppsala area
The Stockholm – Uppsala area is Swedens strongest in the biomedical and biotechnology field
KTH is a Life Science Technologies
University
Transport64 research teams15-20% of KTH
Life Science Technologies
The MBM Platform is a vehicle to support Life Science Technology research at KTH
The official platform role is outlined in the ”Terms of Reference” document
a support organisation
deals with ”across-school” issues
promotes YOUR research externally,
increasing funding and citations
organises frameworks for collaborations with
external partners
a meeting place
within KTH
a single point of entry for
externals and internals provides
opportunities for synergistic
actions
Life Science Technologies research at KTH has six focus areas
Bioimaging
Biomolecular tools & biomaterials
Infrastructure in health
Mathematical and computational sciences
Medical devices
Fundamental research in life science
KTH Life ScienceTechnologies
Current KTH flagships in the MedBioMed area• Science for Life Lab (KTH + Karolinska Institute + Stockholm
university + Uppsala University): Services, technology and teaching in genomics, proteomics, comparative genetics and bioimaging and functional biology
• Stockholm Brain Institute (KTH + Karolinska Institute + Stockholm university): systems neurobiology approach to higher brain functions
• Centre for Medicine in Technology and Health (KTH + Karolinska Institute + Stockholm County Council): to create and constitute a leading medical device research and development environment
• SeRC - the Swedish e-science Research Centre (KTH, SU, LiU and KI) around the two largest high-performance computing (HPC) centres in Sweden, focussing, amongst other, on complex diseases, bioinformatics & sequence databases
International cooperation
•Worldwide student exchange- Large number of
exchange agreements- Very active within
Erasmus mundus
• International collaboaration- EIT with the KICs- China Centres of
Excellence
Collaboration with society…industry, institutes and other authorities
