Professors emeriti

At the age of retirement, many researchers with professorial competence choose to continue their work at KI with an affiliation agreement. These trusted and experienced researchers are usually titled professor emeritus (male) or professor emerita (female) – in the plural form, professors emeriti.

List of professors emeriti

Adjunct and Visiting Professors

An Adjunct Professor at KI must have his or her primary employment and activity outside the higher education sector. This position is also time-limited.

A Visiting Professor at KI must be employed at another university, Swedish or foreign, or by a company, another authority or organization. The visiting professor must have a clear association with KI and participate in activities such as research, research education and undergraduate education.
