Research at the Division of Quality Science
There are several research projects at the Division of Quality Science related to different aspects of sustainability.
Our research
At the division, research is conducted in quality technology with a focus on processes and stakeholders. This includes, among other things, organizational development and maturity, with the goal of improving sustainability focus and performance. Research in sustainability also involves creating long-term sustainable organizations.
The division also conducts research on the use of hydrogen in shipping, which is considered an important component in the transition to a sustainable transport system.
Graduate School
Uppsala University’s multidisciplinary Graduate School in sustainable development is located at Campus Gotland. The principal task of the Graduate School is to conduct research based on major social challenges with a special focus on developing the knowledge required for a smooth transition to living well in a world marked by climate change. The research projects conducted at the Graduate School respond to local sustainability challenges on Gotland. The Graduate School is also integrated into the existing research environment and network in order to guarantee international excellence.
Five research projects are being conducted at the Graduate School with the collaboration of various departments. The Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering is taking part in two of the projects at the graduate school:
Hydrogen gorup on Gotland
The group runs projects aimed at creating a comprehensive system for the production, storage, distribution, and refueling of hydrogen, with the goal of enabling ferries to operate entirely without fossil fuels.
