Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability - WISE

A research program to enable sustainable technologies with impact on our society by understanding, creating, and controlling complex materials with a precision down to the single atom level.

Advanced Functional Materials - AFM

Advanced Functional Materials, AFM, is an interdisciplinary research environment conducting studies in advanced functional materials. The initiative is based on a government investment with strategic research areas as its foundation.

Strategic research areas

The strategic research areas (SRAs) are an initiative of the Swedish government to foster world-leading research in Sweden, in selected areas. ¸ŁŔűĽ§ receives funding in five of the designated research areas, and in three of these ¸ŁŔűĽ§ is the main applicant. In addition, LiU researchers participate actively in the fields of e-science and transport research.

IT and mobile communication

Traditional mobile telephony is changing towards systems and platforms with unimagined capacity. The aim of ELLIIT (Excellence Center at Linköping – Lund in Information Technology) is to meet these challenges in a broad and effective way.

Materials Science

We have a vision that application-inspired basic research focused on the design of new materials at the atomic/molecular scale will solve societal problems within energy, the environment, health and employment.

Security and emergency management

Our vision is to establish a world-leading platform for strategic interdisciplinary research in crisis management, security and the protection of public infrastructure.
