Equality
"In order for KTH to continue to develop as a leading technical university, the very best students and staff will be required. Diversity is an asset and kth must be perceived as an open and welcoming place for prominent individuals, irrespective of their gender, transgender identity or expression, ethnicity, religion or other belief, disability, sexual orientation or age. Gender equality and the repudiation of all forms of discrimination are both a matter of quality and a self-evident part of KTH's core values."

Internationalisation
"KTH's organisation as a whole must be characterised by international integration. KTH is an international educational institution where education and research must maintain the very highest standards, not least in order to attract international students, teachers and researchers. Recruitment of students and faculty members must be carried out both nationally and internationally."
Digitalisation
"With the help of digitalisation, education can be made more innovative, accessible and resource efficient. Investments in e-learning in the broader sense must continue and provide concrete results in the form of changes to the pedagogy, planning and implementation of education, as well as the physical design of educational facilities. Digitalisation offers enormous opportunities for broader participation by various student groups and therefore contributes to greater diversity."
