KTH Transport Platform
To build on existing research excellence and strength, KTH has defined five distinct research focus areas: Transport, Energy & Climate, Materials, Information and Communication Technologies, and Medical Engineering.
The KTH Transport Platform sets the scene for KTH's present and future role in society within the transport area.
A starting point is that KTH today possesses both broad and in-depth expertise within several key areas of transport research. The problems and challenges confronting future transport are however so complex that no player is able to solve them alone. Therefore, it is necessary to employ a multi-disciplinary and a multi-stakeholder approach. On this background the aim is to establish a joint passion and a unique mechanism for holistic transport research, demonstration and innovation together with partners in research community, industry and public bodies.
