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.

Media and Information Technology

The research at MIT is conducted in groups that focuses on a separate aspect of visual information technology, but not isolated from each other. The collaborative atmosphere involves both basic and application oriented research.

Soft gold enables connections between nerves and electronics

Gold does not readily lend itself to being turned into long, thin threads. But researchers at LiU have now managed to create gold nanowires and develop soft, stretchable electrodes that can be connected to the nervous system.

How should digital tools for alerting volunteers in rescue efforts be designed in the best way?

Civil emergency responders (CIP) are volunteers who, according to an agreement with the rescue service and after training, are alerted for a first response in the event of, for example, fires, traffic accidents and cardiac arrest.

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.

A visualisation centre to understand and change the world

To show what actually cannot be seen, and to make complex information comprehensible by way of images. This is what visualisation is about, and this is the objective of the Visualization Center C in Norrköping.
