About the work on KI’s new strategy

Scope and limitations

The new strategy will cover education, research, collaboration and operational support, and strengthen the link between strategic priorities, operational planning and follow-up. 

The strategy will not identify specific fields of research or areas of education, nor will it replace operational plans, budget processes or other decisions within the regular governance structure. 

KI’s current vision will remain in place until further notice, but may be reviewed as part of the strategy process.

How the strategy is being developed

The strategy is being developed through dialogue, input from the organisation and the wider world, and analysis. Staff, students, departments, the Faculty Board, committees and other parts of KI will be involved throughout the process. The dialogue will take place through workshops held locally across the organisation from January to March, among other activities. Support materials for collecting views will be made available. During the same period, staff and students can provide input via a web form. 

The work will address KI’s role in societal development, among other areas, and examine key themes such as prevention, precision medicine, precision health and medical preparedness. Curiosity-driven knowledge-seeking is central to KI’s place in society. Issues such as academic freedom, trust in science, and the link between research and health and medical care will therefore also be discussed. 

The President has commissioned the assignment. The work is led by Maja Fjaestad, together with a working group and a strategy group with representation from different parts of KI. The aim is for the new strategy to be decided by the President and approved by the University Board no later than 31 December 2027. 

How you can contribute

You can contribute by taking part in dialogues and sharing ideas, views and feedback throughout the process. The input received will be compiled and used as a basis for the strategy work. Information, materials and updates will be published regularly on the web page KI’s strategy – our way forward.
