Exhibition: Towards the energy of the future

Today we know that the world's energy system must be fundamentally transformed. It is a precondition for us to be able to slow down climate change and create a sustainable society. And we all have important roles to play in the transformation. But how do we change something that we can't see?

The exhibition was on display 20 February – 30 March 2023

The SDGs in a model categorised under economic, social and environmental.

The exhibition was a collaboration between the library and KTH Energy Platform, which connected over 450 researchers in 30 research groups related to energy issues. The exhibition was based on KTH's Energy Platform's popular science anthology  with the same name, written by some of Sweden's leading energy researchers in collaboration with the Vetenskap & Allmänhet association.

Its aim was to raise awareness of the important energy issue and the knowledge gathered in the anthology. On display were illustrations from the book by Lotta Waesterberg Tomasson, along with books and objects related to energy and electricity. As part of the exhibition, students from KTH's Electrical Engineering program showcased exciting projects that connect to the contents of the anthology, made with materials and equipment from the student-driven ELAB  and Studentverkstan . Visitors were also invited to share their reflections and ideas on the subject of energy.

In conjunction with the exhibition, three popular science lectures were held at KTH Library, based on the anthology.
