Excellent undergraduate teaching and research in the areas of biology, chemistry, materials and applied physics and theory and modelling are conducted at this department.

Department of Science and Technology (ITN)

We research and teach in several technical and scientific disciplines in which our main areas are organic electronics, media, communications and logistics.

New master’s programmes in world-leading materials science

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.

LiU establishes new infrastructure for materials research

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.

Professors and award winners get their own Academic Ceremony

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.

Johanna Rosén elected to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences

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.

Carrying the torch of not burning plastic

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.

This year’s alumni create sustainability with plastic recycling and heat technology

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.

Inspiring others to dare choose a career in engineering

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.

Successful Partner Day at LiU in connection with the EAIE conference in Gothenburg

The LiU Exchange Partner Day welcomed participants from many countries in Europe as well as from countries further away, such as Canada and Taiwan.

Plastic nerve cells become more advanced – and simpler

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.

Ancient lentils shed light over Canary Islands history

The very first genetic study of archaeological lentils show that lentils grown in the Canary Islands have a history that stretches back almost 2,000 years. These lentils may become valuable for plant breeding in the light of ongoing climate change.

“Skin in a syringe” a step towards a new way to heal burns

Researchers have created what could be called “skin in a syringe”. The gel containing live cells can be 3D printed into a skin transplant, as shown in a study conducted on mice. This technology may lead to new ways to treat burns and severe wounds.

PhD student wins Sweden’s largest AI hackathon — alone

Anan Ashrabi Ananno, a PhD student at Linköping University (LiU), won Google Cloud's Hack with AI on Manufacturing Challenge, working entirely on his own. The event was part of Google Cloud’s launch of a new data center in Sweden.

More effective production of “green” hydrogen with new combined material

Hydrogen produced from water is a promising renewable energy source – especially if the hydrogen is produced using sunlight. Now LiU researchers show that a combination of new materials improves the efficiency of the chemical reaction several times.

The Hasselblad Foundation supports dome film about the moon landings

Visualization Center C in Norrköping is creating a new 3D full dome production to take the audience on a journey back to the moon landings. The Hasselblad Foundation has contributed funding for the film Once Upon the Moon.

Major step for flat and adjustable optics

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.
