Linköping University is one of the world’s leading universities in materials science. The autumn of 2026 will see the launch of two new master’s programmes in this field. The students can look forward to an excellent labour market.
Current medical-ethical issues were in focus when the Swedish National Council on Medical Ethics (Smer), celebrating its 40th anniversary, visited Linköping University (LiU).
A new Swedish research infrastructure for additive manufacturing (3D printing) and the finishing and qualification of components in tungsten for future nuclear power is being launched. LiU has been appointed coordinator for the MJOLNIR project.
With a mission to catalyse research and collaboration on sustainable societal transformation, a new centre, LiU Sustainability Transformations, C4ST, will be a new meeting place for innovation and collaboration – both within and outside of LiU.
Nobel Prize-winning technology is now applied in Swedish agriculture. At Hasta Gård, grain is dried without heat using far less energy. The research is part of an innovation project involving Agtech Sweden at LiU.
Habits and health issues can contribute to a kind of biological memory that can be passed on to future children. A review paper by LiU researchers presents a theory about the father’s contribution to protecting his descendants from infections.
New professors will be inaugurated and award winners and Alumni of the Year will be celebrated at the Academic Ceremony on 10 October. Linköping University is growing, and as of this year two Academic Ceremonies will be held.
25 years ago, an idea was born in Linköping: to unite research, healthcare, and industry in developing the medical tools of the future. Two years later, that vision became reality when CMIV was founded and its operations began.
Many companies want to invest more in recycling and reuse as part of their business strategy – but the challenge is making it profitable. One important, yet often overlooked, factor is logistics. That is the view of researcher Erik Sandberg at LiU.
Associate Professor Rebecca Böhme has been named the recipient of the Eric K. Fernström Prize 2025 for young, particularly promising and successful researchers at Linköping University.
Study showes that a specific gene influences how cells move, and that it can therefore cause rheumatic diseases. LiU-researchers contributed to this by predicting the gene’s impact on cells. Now there is hope that this could lead to new treatments.
At Linköping University, students don't just work with theory in the classroom - they also design and build advanced machines that can improve everyday life in industry.
Linköping professor Johanna Rosén has been elected as a new member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, KVA, in the class for engineering sciences. She is one of five new members.
WCMM at LiU is strengthening its clinical research environment by associating five new clinical fellows with the centre. These researchers, active in various medical specialties, will contribute valuable expertise and new perspectives to WCMM’s work.
In 2024, two divisions at the Department of Electrical Engineering (ISY) were merged. These were Computer Engineering (DA) and Integrated Circuits and Systems (EKS). Together, they now form the Division of Electronics and Computer Engineering (ELDA).
Using magnetic cameras, researchers at LiU have examined blood flow in an artificial heart in real time. The results make it possible to design the heart in a way to reduce the risk of blood clots and red blood cells breakdown.
He is the navy officer who chose to do a Master of Science in Engineering. More than 20 years later, Mattias Philipsson is leading the way for plastic in Sweden to become more circular. This Alumnus of the Year 2025 is not done yet.
Lisa Lundström always dreamed of being an engineer. Today, she owns and leads a heating technology company with customers all over the world. The Alumna of the Year is committed to inspiring more young people to dare dream of a career in engineering.
Mattias Philipsson has made major contributions towards strengthening Sweden’s position in plastic recycling. Lisa Lundström is involved in the development of innovative heating solutions. They are Linköping University’s Alumni of the Year 2025.
Should Sweden be hit by a crisis, there is only enough food to feed half of our population. Could new technology be the solution easing our concerns at the dining table?
The LiU Exchange Partner Day welcomed participants from many countries in Europe as well as from countries further away, such as Canada and Taiwan.
Despite being the war, Ukraine has maintained public services. A new study from LiU points to the collaboration between citizens and public authorities as a key factor. There are lessons to be learned for other countries in this, the researchers say.
Did you think that LiU’s 50-year birthday celebrations were already over? Then think againThe Kalas event kicked off the autumn term, and the next few months will see concerts, conferences and another academic ceremony, to name but a few events.
An artificial neuron made of conductive plastics that can perform advanced functions similar to those of biological nerve cells has been demonstrated by researchers at LiU.
