In this session, we introduce systems thinking and its practical application to sustainable transitions within the built environment. We explore the concept of systems thinking, its potential contributions, and ways it can be applied in professional practice, with illustrative examples from various areas of urban development.

Participants will engage with research KTH, covering topics such as transport, housing, water management, public safety, the role of civil society, and the analysis of spatial patterns to support decision-making.

As electricity grids evolve, the benefits of batteries have become more apparent and they are now seen as important assets, not only for backup but also as active components supporting grid stability and energy transition. This course is an introduction to the basics of exploring how batteries interact with the grid and emphasizes self-directed learning.

You will practice how to:

• Use basic energy storage models and tools
• Design and analyze battery storage systems for different applications
• Use basic battery aging models

Learn the basics of electromobility in this flexible, instructor-led online course designed for engineers and professionals in the transport and energy sectors. The course provides you with in-depth knowledge of the technologies and systems that underpin the transition to electromobility. It covers both electric passenger cars and electric trucks, providing a broad and practical understanding of the entire electromobility ecosystem.

The course is developed jointly by Chalmers, Lund University, Uppsala University and Linköping University.

Climate adaptation is the process of adjusting to current or expected climate impacts to reduce harm and, where possible, capitalize on potential benefits. This course provides an introduction to the core concepts, strategies, and challenges associated with climate adaptation and risk management, such as:

• Climate change impacts and fundamental concepts like risk and vulnerability
• Key principles and strategies of climate adaptation
• Tools used by scientists and practitioners to assess climate risk and monitor solutions
• Global adaptation challenges, including financing and transboundary cooperation

Improve work environments using RAMP (Risk management Assessment tool for Manual handling Proactively)! In this course, you will get an overview of the entire RAMP tool and learn to identify and assess musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risks using the RAMP tool’s first module, RAMP I.

MSDs are one of the most common reasons for absence from work today. It leads to reduced productivity and quality losses at companies, as well as increased medical costs.

This course is part one of a RAMP program. The other courses are Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries using RAMP II  and Proficiency in using RAMP for Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries .

Improve work environments using RAMP (Risk management Assessment tool for Manual handling Proactively)! In this course, you learn to use all four modules in the RAMP tool to manage musculoskeletal (MSD) risks. This includes, for example, how to present results from risk assessments and how to create action plans for improvement.

MSDs are one of the most common reasons for absence from work today. It leads to reduced productivity and quality losses at companies, as well as increased medical costs.

This course is part two of a RAMP program. The other courses are Assessment of Work-Related Injury Risks using RAMP I  and Proficiency in using RAMP for Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries .

Improve work environments using RAMP (Risk management Assessment tool for Manual handling Proactively)! In this course, you practice using all four modules in the RAMP tool to manage musculoskeletal (MSD) risks. You become skilled in managing the whole risk management process and get to work with authentic cases from the business community.

MSDs are one of the most common reasons for absence from work today. It leads to reduced productivity and quality losses at companies, as well as increased medical costs.

This course is part three of a RAMP program. The other courses are Assessment of Work-Related Injury Risks using RAMP I  and Risk Management of Work-Related Injuries using RAMP II .

In this course package you will get a basic introduction to the concept of sustainable development. Among other things, we will discuss:

• The three pillars of sustainability (economic, social and ecological sustainability)
• Planetary boundaries
• Resource management 

You will also learn about key competences for sustainability such as systems thinking and values thinking, and get an overview of the basic mechanisms of Earth’s climate and climate change.

In this course, you will gain insight into how individuals, organisations and societies approach sustainability challenges in different ways. You will learn:

• To identify and prioritize solutions based on different perspectives
• About how the values, attitudes and behaviours for sustainable development are connected
• About different environmental management tools
• How to implement organizational learning, incentives and instruments to change behaviours for sustainable development
• Concepts used in the current sustainability debate

During this course, you will learn the basics of AI, machine learning and Neural Networks. You will learn about important concepts such as Gradient Descent, Backpropagation and Activation Functions. Common metrics are presented as well as problems such as overfitting and underfitting. Among other topics, we go in-depth on:

• What are Neural Networks and how are they trained?
• How do Neural Networks analyze images and text?
• How important is data?
