K\u00e4ra kollegor,
\nVi har precis avslutat merparten av l\u00f6nef\u00f6rhandlingarna p\u00e5 KTH. Vi har bett varje chef att notera att alla blivit erbjudna ett l\u00f6nesamtal. Om du av n\u00e5gon anledning inte har blivit erbjuden ett s\u00e5dant, v\u00e4nligen kontakta HR eller mig. F\u00f6rberedelserna inf\u00f6r \u00e5rets samtal \u00e4r ett bra tillf\u00e4lle att reflektera \u00f6ver sin egen insats under det g\u00e5ngna \u00e5ret, men vid det h\u00e4r laget har ni alla diskuterat era prestationer med er chef. Denna vecka kommer jag att tr\u00e4ffa HR f\u00f6r att se \u00f6ver resultaten fr\u00e5n cheferna. KTH har som m\u00e5l att betala ut de nya l\u00f6nerna den 23 december.<\/p>\n

Rektor bad oss f\u00f6rra \u00e5ret att g\u00f6ra en kort Reformagenda som skulle fokusera p\u00e5 varje skolas behov under det kommande \u00e5ret. Detta skilde sig fr\u00e5n den l\u00e4ngre utvecklingsplan som vi har gjort tidigare. Som ni redan vet var vi p\u00e5 ITM n\u00f6dgade att fokusera p\u00e5 att f\u00e5 en balanserad ekonomi under 2024. H\u00e4r har Christina Carlsson och Mats Magnusson gjort ett mycket bra jobb tillsammans med v\u00e5ra verksamhetscontrollers och chefer p\u00e5 respektive institution f\u00f6r att b\u00e5de fokusera p\u00e5 att \u00f6ka int\u00e4kterna, men ocks\u00e5 minska kostnaderna. Forskarna har jobbat h\u00e5rt p\u00e5 att f\u00e5 in nya anslag och resultatet har varit mycket bra p\u00e5 alla avdelningar, men framf\u00f6rallt Materialvetenskap och Energiteknik har varit framg\u00e5ngsrika med att erh\u00e5lla nya anslag. Alla institutioner har ocks\u00e5 jobbat f\u00f6r att \u00f6ka utbildningsint\u00e4kterna. Till exempel har institutionen f\u00f6r L\u00e4rande varit framg\u00e5ngsrik med att \u00f6ka antalet studenter som l\u00e4ser s\u00e5 kallade livsl\u00e5ngt-l\u00e4randekurser. Vi har ocks\u00e5 s\u00e4nkt kostnaderna f\u00f6r kontor och laboratorier samt minskat konsultanv\u00e4ndningen.<\/p>\n

F\u00f6r 2025 planerar vi att forts\u00e4tta arbetet med att f\u00e5 kontroll \u00f6ver ekonomin f\u00f6r att n\u00e5 en balanserad ekonomi f\u00f6r de flesta institutioner 2025, och d\u00e4r alla \u00e4r med p\u00e5 t\u00e5get 2026. Vi beh\u00f6ver dock \u00e4ven arbeta med planer f\u00f6r ITM:s framtida utbildningar. Under 2024 har vi under ledning av Frauke Urban inlett ett arbete med att samla in information om alla v\u00e5ra utbildningar f\u00f6r att f\u00e5 en \u00f6vergripande f\u00f6rst\u00e5else f\u00f6r antalet kurser, typ av kurser etc. Nu \u00e4r det dags att arbeta fram en plan f\u00f6r hur v\u00e5r utbildning kan uppdateras f\u00f6r att m\u00f6ta framtida utmaningar i samh\u00e4llet. Detta kommer att r\u00f6ra alla er som \u00e4r involverade i undervisningen.<\/p>\n

P\u00e5 tal om undervisning m\u00e5ste jag dela med mig av ett intressant experiment som jag och mina kollegor Yu-Chiao Lu och Jesse White nyligen testade i en klass best\u00e5ende av studenter fr\u00e5n 3:e \u00e5ret p\u00e5 Material Design-programmet och de internationella studenterna i 1:a \u00e5ret p\u00e5 masterprogrammet p\u00e5 Materialvetenskap. En s\u00e5 kallad “flipped-location-examination” genomf\u00f6rdes p\u00e5 Kanthals produktionsanl\u00e4ggning i Hallstahammar (industriell v\u00e4rmeteknik). Studenterna hade f\u00e5tt i uppgift att f\u00f6resl\u00e5 framtida id\u00e9er f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rverkliga elektrifiering i olika metallproduktionsprocesser f\u00f6r att f\u00f6rb\u00e4ttra b\u00e5de h\u00e5llbarhet och m\u00f6jligg\u00f6ra en mer cirkul\u00e4r ekonomi. De gjorde posters och pitchade sina id\u00e9er i 3-5 minuter f\u00f6r tjugo Kanthal R&D-experter och fyra KTH-l\u00e4rare, som roterade runt i rummet f\u00f6r att st\u00e4lla fr\u00e5gor. Alla posters bed\u00f6mdes och en vinnare uts\u00e5gs (se foto). Studenterna, l\u00e4rarna och Kanthals personal var alla n\u00f6jda med konceptet, s\u00e5 vi kommer s\u00e4kert att anv\u00e4nda det igen!<\/p>\n

Dear colleagues,<\/p>\n

We have just finished the majority of the salary negotiations at KTH. We have asked each manager to note if a person have been offered a salary negotiation talk. If you for some reason have not been offered one, please contact HR or me. The preparation of this yearly talk is a good time to make a self-reflection on your performance during the last year. By now, all of you have discussed the performance with your manager. Thus, this week I will meet with HR to look at the results from the Division Heads and Department Heads. KTH aims at finish the process so that the new salaries are paid on December 23.<\/p>\n

The President asked us last year to make a short Development Plan (reformagenda) that should focus on each School\u2019s need the coming year. This was different from the longer yearly Development Plan that we had made in the past. As you are aware of, we found it necessary to focus on obtaining a balanced economy during 2024. Here, Christina Carlsson and Mats Magnusson have done a very good job together with the operations controllers (VHC) and managers at each department to both focus on increasing incomes but also decreasing costs. Researchers at departments have been working hard to hand in proposals. The result has been very good since all departments, but especially the materials department and the energy department, have been successful in obtaining new grants. All departments have also worked hard to increase educational incomes. For example, the Department of Learning have been successful in increasing the number of students taking so-called \u201clife-long-learning\u201d courses. We have also decreased costs by lowering the costs for offices and laboratories as well as by decreasing the use of consultant.<\/p>\n

For 2025 we plan to continue the work on getting a control of the economy to reach a balanced economy for most departments in 2025, but for sure in 2026. However, we also need to work on plans for the future educations to be offered by ITM. During 2024 we have initiated a work on gathering information on the education we offer under the lead of Frauke Urban, so that we get an overall understanding regarding the number of courses, type of courses, etc. we offer. Now it is time to work on a plan for how our education can be updated to meet future challenges in society. This will involve all of you involved in teaching.<\/p>\n

Talking about teaching, I need to share an interesting experiment me and my colleagues Yu-Chiao Lu and Jesse White just tested in a mixed class consisting of students from the 3rd<\/sup> year Material Design programme and the international students in the 1st<\/sup> year master programme at the department of Materials Science and Engineering. A so-called \u201cflipped\u2013location\u201d examination was carried out at the production site of Kanthal in Hallstahammar (industrial heating technology). The students had been given the task to suggest future ideas of realizing electrification in various metal production processes in order to improve both sustainability and to enable a more circular economy.\u00a0 They made posters and pitched their ideas for 3-5 minutes for 20 Kanthal R&D experts and four KTH teachers, that rotated around the room to ask questions. All posters were graded and a winner was selected (see photo). The students, teachers and the Kanthal personnel were all pleased with this concept of examining the learning goal, so we will for sure use it again!<\/p>\n
