KTH raises funds for a variety of projects with a long tradition of collaborating with companies and public activities in applied research, which results in good relations and rapid implementation in technical research.
Private funding enables life-saving research
KTH professor Mathias Uhlén is the man behind one of the largest research projects in Sweden aimed at preventing and treating the diseases of our time. A dream that is no longer too distant.
"Without funding from private foundations, I would not have been able to conduct this kind of bold research," he says.
Just over ten years ago, the Jonasson Centre for Medical Imaging was inaugurated at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Flemingsberg - thanks to a large private donation.
Today, the centre conducts advanced research in body imaging to develop new diagnostic and treatment methods in healthcare.
"The donation has been absolutely crucial for us to be able to build up cutting-edge research," says Matilda Larsson, professor and head of department.
KTH Live-In Lab - where tomorrow's buildings are created
At KTH Live-In Lab, new technologies are tested in real living environments in order to more quickly translate research into finished products. Through collaboration between researchers and companies, innovations are developed for the smart buildings and cities of the future.
Brummer & Partners’ commitment to strengthening mathematics in the community leads to a total donation of SEK 15.5 million to MathDataLab.
SEK 70 million for new medical imaging centre
The Jonasson Centre for Medical Imaging became possible thanks to the generous SEK 70 million donation made 2011 by KTH alumnus Rune Jonasson and his wife Kerstin.
