I hope you have had a relaxing and enjoyable break and are feeling recharged and ready for an exciting new semester.<\/p>\n<p>For me personally, the start of the academic year has been extra exciting. This is the first time I have experienced the introduction week and student reception at KTH, with everything that comes with it: seeing the campus filled with enthusiastic new students, meeting an engaged student union, and feeling the unique energy that accompanies the start of a new academic year. It is both inspiring and a reminder of our shared mission to create the best possible conditions for our students.<\/p>\n<p>I would also like to take this opportunity to recognise the excellent work carried out by ITM\u2019s Office of Student Affairs in preparing for the start of the semester and creating the conditions for a smooth and successful launch.<\/p>\n<p>As the autumn semester gets underway, it is also time to follow up on the second quarter of our <a href=\"https:\/\/intra.kth.se\/polopoly_fs\/1.1469279.1779088745!\/VP%202026%20ITM-skolan-final.pdf\">operational plan<\/a>. This follow-up gives us the opportunity to assess our progress against our goals and key performance indicators, while also highlighting the important work taking place across the organisation.<\/p>\n<p>Once the data has been compiled, the Q2 results will be presented in an upcoming newsletter. We will provide an overall update on our progress and highlight some of the initiatives and achievements that the departments themselves consider particularly significant.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to continuing our work together throughout the autumn.<\/p>\n<p>\/Eva Bj\u00f6rndal, Head of the ITM School\u2019s Office<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In English further down.
