Battery Technology
The transition towards a climate- neutral Europe requires fundamental changes in the way we generate and use energy. Long-term, coordinated research, as well as education of students and professionals, are needed to build up knowledge and competences for a growing battery value chain in Sweden.
Energy
For a transition to sustainable energy systems and a common understanding of long-term challenges.
Health Engineering
Sustainable solutions to major health-related societal challenges, in close collaboration with the healthcare sector.
ICT, digitalisation and AI
Aiming for a smarter, safer society.
Land
With a growing population, the need increases for well-planned and efficient communities with access to clean water and sanitation, more but also climate-adapted housing, and resilient infrastructure for water, energy, and transportation, as well as sustainable agriculture and forestry.
Materials science
We enable the green transition through excellent materials science in energy, health, construction and transport.
Nano science and quantum technology
Research into the unique physical, chemical and biological phenomena that prevail at very small dimensions, and the technologies that utilise these phenomena.
Industry and production
Sustainable industry through the transition to a circular economy, industrial digitisation and the use of new materials.
Transport
New knowledge to meet transport-related challenges in accordance with global goals for safe, sustainable development.
Ocean
Our strong maritime heritage goes back to the establishment of the university. Today, most departments have research, education, and or utilisation related to the marine and maritime domain, contributing to the grand challenges associated with human utilisation of the oceans and marine resources. All in line with the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development.
Space
A sustainable approach to space technology meeting societal and scientific challenges now and in the future, on Earth and beyond.
