KTH Nexus - a decarbonization initiative
Swedish nuclear power was born at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Together with industry, academia and business, we are now taking the next step and developing the technology to meet future needs with KTH Nexus - a decarbonization initiative within nuclear technology.

Climate change and the increasing energy needs of the future pose significant challenges for Sweden and the world. Nuclear technology development is needed to replace the massive reliance on coal and gas in heavy industry.
At KTH, there is a research environment and collective knowledge in the field, which is not found anywhere else in Sweden.
Capitalising on research in a wide range of related topics, the KTH strategic research initiative within nuclear energy will develop solutions to completely phase out fossil fuels in the industry using reliable, efficient and safe nuclear energy - both for heat and electricity production.
KTH also trains the next generation of engineers and experts in the field and has Sweden's only master's programme in nuclear engineering.
