I am personally involved in several programme items with Chalmers and Lund University, as well as with Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University through the University Alliance Stockholm Trio and the Stockholm Science City Foundation. I am also participating in quite a few other events organised by various other organisations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As usual<\/strong>, it\u2019s a week filled with public debates, discussions and meetings involving thousands of people and organisations. As mentioned, we can expect the political parties to try to gain an advantage ahead of the election this year. Hopefully, issues such as the supply of talent in STEM, Sweden\u2019s role in cutting-edge technologies, the AI revolution, and Sweden\u2019s competitiveness, capacity for innovation, and resilience in a changing world and within the framework of European Union policy will be raised \u2014 all of which are of great interest to KTH.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Find out more<\/strong> about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kth.se\/en\/om\/nyheter\/centrala-nyheter\/kth-pa-almedalsveckan-2026-1.1479328\">KTH&#8217;s participation in Almedalen<\/a> and view all the events in <a href=\"https:\/\/almedalsveckan.info\/rg\/almedalsveckan\/officiellt-program\/program-2026\">the official programme<\/a> (in Swedish).<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almedalen Week is almost here.
