Warming up
• I had tea for breakfast.
• I have presented on a pedagogical conference before.
• I have sufficient resources to develop my teaching.
• I think teaching gives good payback career wise.
• It happens a lot of exciting stuff in the pedagogical field at KTH.
Why?
The main purpose of this conference is for you to share your experiences and knowledge and to get inspired by your colleagues.
A way to make teaching skills more visible and assessable in order to upgrade how teaching merits are valued.

Seems tricky to balance the two… göras?
If there were equal emphasis on research and teaching it might be more positive for students and lecturers.
"The most effective strategy for strengthening the teaching-research nexus is to stop neglecting teaching and to provide more opportunities for lecturers' research strengths to have an impact on teaching, by them actually interacting with students."
Institutions also need to recognise and reward teaching.
