Department of Science and Technology (ITN)

The Department of Science and Technology is part of Campus Norrköping.
We research and teach in several technical and scientific disciplines, of which our main areas are organic electronics, media technology, communications and logistics.

The department offers about 200 courses annually for our master and bachelor programs. We also have extensive doctoral studies.

You can find us in the beautiful industrial landscape by the Motala River in central Norrköping.

Research Environments

Communications and Transport Systems

We contribute to the development of society with research and education in the fields of traffic systems, logistics, communication systems and construction engineering.
