Reports & updates (25 min)

  • Update from PADs (15 min)

    • Oscar (Physics): JML 40-50 ppl (180 were invited). 2 more JML workshops are planned. It went well, from what he heard. Following the JML meeting, the faculty is positive about holding the meeting annually. They can use the results of the yearly JML workshops to conduct qualitative and quantitative analyses of what happened each year. 

    • Erik (Applied Physics): About the JML workshop: It's positive to have follow-ups on cases where people knew there was a problem. We agree to that.
      Removal of doctoral programmes in applied physics: a document was forwarded to PADs, and feedback was requested from them. That was strange because the Chapter hadn’t received the email before. Very long document. It is not a confidential document. What will change is that they will keep research topics, but not several doctoral programmes. They didn’t provide information on how exactly it would change things. The students will probably have a different study plan. It will also change how the PADs are organised in the areas of subject, meetings with PAs. It was about the administrative work that the SCI school mentioned, so that’s why they want the change.

    • Sebastian: They will have the first JML workshop and a meeting on Monday to gather opinions and will create a form to solicit feedback. It was suggested that we collectively consider questions to be sent to the students who attended the workshop (the form will be sent only to the students who participated in the workshop).

    • Teodor: Teaching responsibilities are working better now. Supervision of bachelor’s theses will be more fairly allocated.

    • Kaushik: JML workshop with mathematics. Noting more updates from this site.

  • Elections (5 min)

    • Nominations form already sent. Ppl should nominate themselves or someone else if they think so. Voting will open after the nominations.

  • Mentorship program (5 min)

    • People filled the form that Maria sent and suggested some topics for the mentorship programme. It would be good to mention that in the FN meetings.
      Nils will ask a point to present at the FN meeting.
      It is only in a school of the SCI. The QSCI network is being discontinued; this one will not replace QSCI, but rather be something separate. We have no idea how much funding it will require. 

Discussion points (10 min)

  • Recurring points (10 min)

    • Equality at KTH. Not a lot to say here. 

    • FN meeting. Direction of decision towards JML. For the next meeting: 9th of December: someone to replace Nils. Teodor will take it. 

Development of Current Events/Initiatives (5 min)

  • Next Event Ideas (Maria)

    • Gingerbread house building. Do it on December 8th.
