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.

More effective cancer treatment with iontronic pump

When low doses of cancer drugs are administered continuously near malignant brain tumours using so-called iontronic technology, cancer cell growth drastically decreases. This is demonstrated in experiments with bird embryos.

Electronic medicine – at the intersection of technology and medicine

Swedish researchers have developed a gel that can form a soft electrode capable of conducting electricity. In the long term, they aim to connect electronics to biological tissue, such as the brain.
