BTH’s task is to contribute to a more sustainable societal development through higher education, research and innovation. BTH conducts education and research in fields in which society has major needs.

Through international excellence, we contribute to digital and sustainable transformation. As an institute of technology, we have a responsibility and a unique opportunity to make our contribution to both regional and national competitiveness and to global sustainability.

External engagement with wider society and the private sector contribute to making us more attractive and ensuring that both our education and research maintain high quality and relevance.

Welcome to BTH!

BTH’s research in software engineering ranks second in the world, and BTH’s research in strategic sustainable development is among the most cited in the world.

As an institute of technology, we have great opportunities to contribute to a sustainable future for our society. We achieve this by carrying out research that makes a real difference.

To succeed, BTH aims for close collaboration with industry and society, and for high quality in everything we do. The research concentrates on strong fields, where there are good conditions to be of benefit to society.

BTH has high ambitions – and within some fields, such as software engineering and strategic sustainable development, we are already world class. Currently, research accounts for a third of BTH’s activities and we have the ambition to increase this proportion even more.
