Environmental Technology and Management (MILJÖ)

Division of Environmental Technology is a research and education environment. Our focus is on how environmental problems lead to changes in products, services , technical systems and organisations and how it affects the environment.

The Division for Environmental Technology and Management is an interdisciplinary research group with thirty years experience of turning environmental problems into opportunities. Our main focus is the transformation of organisations, technical systems and products and services towards a resource efficient society. Today the division is a research and education environment with international reputation and with 25 employees and 900 students.

The division Environmental Technology and Management is divided into four units:

Unit for Sustainable Development and Strategies
Unit for Industrial and Urban Symbiosis
Unit for Products Services Innovation
Unit for Sustainable Materials Management

Research

Research groups

Environmental management and transformation

This research group is specialised on understanding how organisations and cities can move towards a more sustainable state. We study how such processes can be influenced, which actors are involved and how they interact.

Industrial and Urban Symbiosis

Research is conducted into how local and regional collaboration that involves private and public organisations, and actors from different sectors, can bring opportunities for more efficient flows of material and energy, and other synergy effects.
