What makes LiU special is the lack of boundaries between different subjects and faculties, which has resulted in world-leading research environments and companies. We address issues where the results can benefit all of society.

Research into planning, reuse and renovation in the construction sector receives substantial grants from Formas, a government research council for sustainable development. Seven projects share a total of just over SEK 63 million.

Watercourses release soil carbon that can be thousands of years old into the atmosphere. This runs counter to the prevailing view that it is mainly carbon from newly decomposed organic material that is released from watercourses.

The latest upgrading of the supercomputer Berzelius at LiU has now been completed. Its doubled capacity enables researchers across Sweden to tackle current and future challenges in areas such as materials science, bioinformatics and machine learning.

“It is such an honor, and I am truly proud to have been appointed honorary doctor.” That’s what Professor Gillian Einstein said when she visited Campus US for her honorary doctorate lecture and a couple of intense days at Linköping University.

If Linköping University is to be a leading player in self-driving vehicles, we need to gear up. This is according to Theodor Westny at the Division of Vehicular Systems who is the initiator of a new research and teaching platform.

Speaker of the Riksdag Andreas Norlén and Professor Angela Woods praised their collaborations with Linköping University when they were conferred honorary doctorates at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

Tumour cells in colorectal cancer exploit an important signalling pathway that normally controls embryo development. Researchers have now shown how a protein that controls limb development make colorectal cancer cells more likely to spread.

By carefully placing nanostructures on a flat surface, researchers at LiU have significantly improved the performance of so-called optical metasurfaces in conductive plastics. This is a major step for controllable flat optics.

Researchers have discovered how an ion channel in the brain’s neurons has a kind of ‘molecular memory’, which contributes to the formation and preservation of lifelong memories.
