3.22.2 Project Support Unit

The Project Support Unit is a resource for initiating and supporting strategically important collaborative projects. We deepen existing collaboration and increase opportunities for utilisation through collaboration with organisations and companies outside academia. We provide support by coordinating and managing processes aiming at multi-stakeholder collaboration.

The unit offers project management and participates in projects and platforms, networks and partnerships across all disciplinary domains. We bring together and match researchers with external stakeholders and assist with communication in projects as well as contributing expertise to the University for developing and running collaborative projects with high societal relevance and strong academic connections.

We support the University's six strategic partnerships: Alleima, Cytiva, Hitachi Energy, Region Gotland, Volvo Cars Corporation, and Uppsala Municipality.

The Head of Unit is Magdalena Presto Åkerfeldt.
