Processes to support and effective and efficient research environment
Created new platforms in key technology areas•New organization and business models
• ”Horizontal” information, S&T clusers, distributed production of research
• Strong collaboration and competition, address multi-stakeholders and responsible development
•Reward quality• RAE every four years (2008 and 2012)• Culture of ”Continuous Improvement!” through links to
resource allocation system
•Introduced evaluation of Economic and Social Impact of research
• KTH is the first university in Sweden to introduce a new comprehensive process for ”measuring” and describing the wider impact of research

Strategic Research Areas at KTH
• In June 2009, KTH was awarded 240 Mkr/year from the Strategic Research Call run by the Swedish government
• KTH will take part in 11 strategic research programmes
• Five of these programmes will be managed by KTH
1.ICT – the Next Generation2.Biotech: Science for Life Laboratory3.Transport: TrenOp4.E-Science: Swedish E-Science Centre 5.Production Engineering: XPRESS
• In additon KTH will play a substantial role in:1.Energy: StandUp in partnership with Uppsala University

The MBM Platform is a vehicle to support Life Science Technology research at KTH
The official platform role is outlined in the ”Terms of Reference” document
a support organisation
deals with ”across-school” issues
promotes YOUR research externally,
increasing funding and citations
organises frameworks for collaborations with
external partners
a meeting place
within KTH
a single point of entry for
externals and internals provides
opportunities for synergistic
actions
![Page 23: KTH Research and Collaboration Björn Birgisson, Vice President for Research](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062322/56814a22550346895db74c77/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Life Science Technologies research at KTH has six focus areas
