The Challenge
KTH Royal Institute of Technology, one of Europe’s leading technical and engineering universities, contacted us to visualize and manage the multitude of Master’s thesis topics undertaken by their students. The traditional methods of tracking and categorizing thesis topics were cumbersome and inefficient: KTH needed a solution that could not only organize this data, but also present it in a clear, insightful manner. They required a tool that would enable them to understand the landscape of thesis topics at a glance, identify critical areas of research, and facilitate better communication and collaboration among students and faculty.
“KTH shapes the talents that will find the solutions for tomorrow’s challenges. Solving real-world problems and learning to work together is an integral part of education.”
