School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

The School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) is one of five schools at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. We conduct research and education in electrical engineering, computer science, intelligent systems and human centered technology. Here you can read about our research, education and the latest news at EECS. Located at KTH Kista and KTH Campus in Stockholm.

KTH Kista moves to KTH Campus

The activities at KTH Kista will gradually be moved to the KTH Campus from the spring semester of 2025. The move will give researchers, teachers and students more community, better resources and closer cooperation.
