KTH is increasingly focusing on collaboration with Africa, investing in further developing its collaborations in education, research and innovation with universities in eastern and southern Africa.

KTH's commitment in Africa grows

In light of this, KTH has established this KTH in Africa Community to bring together colleagues, faculty members, students and alumni interested in collaboration related to Africa. In this community, we want to share information and exchange experiences from our mutual collaboration between African universities and KTH. KTH's objective is to gather a multidisciplinary community encompassing all schools within KTH and foster connections with our partner universities in Africa.

In addition to being an information community, this initiative extends beyond mere inspiration; KTH aspires to facilitate connections between our researchers and students and their counterparts at African partner institutions. Your participation in our community would be precious.
