Faculty

Number of Faculty Staff	Headcount: 1,489 FTE: 1,218
Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator.

Number of academic faculty staff who are of foreign nationality. The term 'international' is hereby determined by citizenship. For EU countries, this includes all foreign nationals, even if from another EU state. In Hong Kong, this includes professors from Mainland China. Inclusion and exclusion mirrors those for academic faculty staff. In case of dual citizenship, the 'deciding' criteria should be 'citizenship obtained through birth', basically first passport obtained.

Main claims to international academic or non-academic excellence

KTH accounts for one-third of Sweden's technical research and engineering education capacity at university level. Education and research cover a broad spectrum � from natural sciences to all the branches of engineering as well as architecture, industrial engineering and management, urban planning, ergonomics and environmental engineering. KTH is decidedly a research-oriented university; two-thirds of its efforts are going into research and postgraduate education. Profiling of strong research environments has been a theme for most universities over the past year and is also clearly evident at KTH. For example there can be no doubt that KTH has played an exceptional role in the development of information and communication technology (ICT) during the last few decades, both as a national driving force and as an international partner. At a very early stage KTH also indicated the potential of modern biotechnology and consequently has acted as host university to several of Sweden's largest scientific projects of which one, the Human Proteome Atlas, is currently underway.

Computer Simulation for Science and Engineering (COSSE) is a master's programme within the multidisciplinary field of Computational Science and Engineering (CSE), which is an enabling technology for scientific discovery and engineering design.

CSE involves mathematical modeling, numerical analysis, computer science, high-performance computing and visualization. The remarkable development of large scale computing in the last decades has turned CSE into the "third pillar" of science, complementing theory and experiment.

CSE offers scientists new insights in scientific problems and tools for extracting and using detailed information from volumes of data. CSE also provides reliable information for design in engineering disciplines, thereby shortening and economizing the design cycle for products and processes.

The Erasmus Mundus programme "Computer Simulations for Science and Engineering" (COSSE) is a joint initiative of four European universities:

- KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
- Technical University of Berlin, Germany
- Technical University of Delft, the Netherlands
- Friedrich-Alexander University of Erlangen- Nürnberg, Germany
