Previous Experiences and Implementations

• KTH has participated in more than 53 projects as coordinator

• KTH represented by Industrial Engineering and Management

Activities cover the engineering, technological and economic knowledge necessary to be able to develop new products, material and production processes in a sustainable fashion as concerns technical management, financial profitability and the environment. One precondition for innovation and enterprise is the study and application of basic physical and chemical phenomena as well as the integration of new, often multidisciplinary technologies, methods and tools. Core knowledge areas include industrial design and innovation, product and production development, materials development, micro and nano technology as well as industrial economics, organisation and management.

• KTH

Will provide key staff to run the project and help in management and sustainability prospective

Will provide teaching materials as well as held seminars for key staff at the target universities;
