L\u00e5t sommaren berika h\u00f6stterminen<\/h2>\n

K\u00e4ra kollegor!<\/p>\n

Det \u00e4r dags att g\u00e5 tillbaka till jobbet igen. De flesta av oss har haft sommarlov och jag vill tro att majoriteten upplever att detta milj\u00f6ombyte \u2013 och aktivitetsbyte \u2013 har bidragit till mer inspiration och motivation. F\u00f6rhoppningsvis k\u00e4nner du som jag att det \u00e4r fantastiskt att vara tillbaka p\u00e5 jobbet igen och att f\u00e5 anv\u00e4nda nya erfarenheter i ditt arbete i h\u00f6st.<\/p>\n

Som varje h\u00f6st p\u00e5 KTH kommer nya saker att h\u00e4nda. Ingen av er har missat att nollorna har anl\u00e4nt till v\u00e5ra campus. De \u00e4ldre eleverna g\u00f6r sitt b\u00e4sta f\u00f6r att ta hand om dem och se till att de k\u00e4nner sig v\u00e4lkomna. Det \u00e4r viktigt f\u00f6r dem att f\u00e5 ett n\u00e4tverk bland andra nollor liksom med \u00e4ldre studenter, som de kan anv\u00e4nda under kommande \u00e5r som studenter p\u00e5 KTH. En av mina kollegor sa en g\u00e5ng “Ingen klarar sig genom KTH ensam, du m\u00e5ste samarbeta”. Jag tror att det \u00e4r v\u00e4ldigt sant och g\u00e4ller b\u00e5de under studierna och senare i arbetslivet. D\u00e4rmed \u00e4r aktiviteterna f\u00f6r de nya eleverna (nollningen) viktig.<\/p>\n

En annan sak som kommer att h\u00e4nda p\u00e5 KTH i h\u00f6st \u00e4r att vi f\u00e5r en ny rektor, Anders S\u00f6derholm, som b\u00f6rjar arbeta p\u00e5 KTH den 1 december. KTH-administrat\u00f6rerna har dock redan b\u00f6rjat boka in m\u00f6ten mellan honom och skolornas ledningar. F\u00f6rordnandet \u00e4r p\u00e5 sex \u00e5r. Vi ser fram emot att st\u00f6tta honom f\u00f6r att se till att KTH forts\u00e4tter vara en viktig spelare i samh\u00e4llet.<\/p>\n

Anders S\u00f6derholm blir ny rektor<\/a><\/p>\n

Till sist kommer jag som vanligt att dela med mig av n\u00e5gra av de saker jag gjort under min semester.<\/p>\n

I princip tillbringade jag st\u00f6rre delen av ledigheten i min tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rd (som jag f\u00f6rutsp\u00e5dde i videon vi publicerade innan sommaren). Det har varit v\u00e4ldigt varmt, s\u00e5 en av de dagliga aktiviteterna var att vattna gr\u00f6nsakerna i tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rden. Jag n\u00e4mnde ocks\u00e5 att s\u00e4tta upp ett fint st\u00f6d f\u00f6r mina nya rosor n\u00e4ra trappan jag byggde (se bild).<\/p>\n

Jag hade ocks\u00e5 en liten semester d\u00e4r jag bes\u00f6kte sydv\u00e4stra Sverige. N\u00e5got av det mest intressanta jag upplevde var ett bes\u00f6k p\u00e5 \u201dR\u00f6kstenen\u201d i \u00d6desh\u00f6g<\/a>. Den \u00e4r 1200 hundra \u00e5r gammal och v\u00e5ra experter f\u00f6rst\u00e5r fortfarande inte hela budskapet som st\u00e5r \u00e4r inristat i den. D\u00e5 s\u00e4ger ni: “Anv\u00e4nd Google f\u00f6r att \u00f6vers\u00e4tta det!” L\u00e5t mig f\u00f6rklara vad som h\u00e4nde n\u00e4r vi f\u00f6rs\u00f6kte \u00f6vers\u00e4tta en mening till svenska med hj\u00e4lp av Google f\u00f6r en av v\u00e5ra doktorander: “char yield rate” \u00f6versattes till “sk\u00f6rdehastighet f\u00f6r r\u00f6ding”. Fr\u00e5n br\u00e4nsle till fisk!<\/p>\n

Kul att du \u00e4r tillbaka p\u00e5 KTH igen!<\/p>\n

Let the summer enrich work<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dear colleagues,<\/p>\n

It is time to get back to work again after most of us have enjoyed a summer vacation. I am sure that the majority feel that this change of environment and change of activities have helped you to gather more inspiration and motivation. Hopefully, you feel like me that it\u2019s great to be back at work again and to use these new experiences in your work this fall.<\/p>\n

As every fall at KTH, new things will happen. None of you has missed the fact that the zeros (nollor) have arrived at our campuses. The older students are doing their best to take care of them and make sure they feel welcome. They need to get a network among other zeros as well as with older students, which they can use during the coming years as students at KTH. One of my colleagues once said \u201cNo one can make it through KTH alone; you need to collaborate\u201d. I believe this is very true both during studies and in normal working life. Thus, the activities for the new students (nollning) are important.<\/p>\n

Another thing that will happen at KTH this fall is that we will have a new President, namely Anders S\u00f6derholm. He will start working at KTH on December 1, 2022. However, the KTH administrators have already started to book meetings between him and the schools’ management. The appointment is for six years. We are looking forward to supporting him to make sure that KTH carries out new important achievements in society.<\/p>\n

Anders S\u00f6derholm is KTH’s next President<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, I will as usual share some of the things I did during my vacation.
\nBasically, I spent most of the summer in my garden (as I predicted in the video we published before the summer). It has been very hot, so one of the daily activities was to water the vegetables in the garden. I also mentioned to set-up nice support for my new roses close to the stairs I built (see picture).<\/p>\n

I also had a small vacation to visit southwestern Sweden. One of the most interesting things I experienced was a visit to \u201cR\u00f6kstenen\u201d in \u00d6desh\u00f6g (Swe)<\/a>. It is 1200 hundred years old and our experts still do not understand the whole message written on it. Then most of you say: \u201cuse Google to translate it\u201d! Let me explain what happened when we tried to translate a sentence for one of our PhD students into Swedish: \u201cchar yield rate\u201d was translated by Google into \u201csk\u00f6rdehastighet f\u00f6r r\u00f6ding\u201d. From fuel to fish!<\/p>\n

Great to have you back at KTH again!<\/p>\n
