Research vid avdelningen för kvalitetsteknik
There are several research projects at the Division of Quality Science related to different aspects of sustainability and sustainable destination development.
Our research
Research in sustainability includes creating long-term sustainable organisations. Research with a focus on sustainable destination development is about creating destination experiences that enrich the local community economically, socially and minimise the impact on the environment.
The division also conducts research on quality technology with a process and stakeholder focus. This involves, among other things, organisational development and maturity with the aim of improving sustainability focus and performance.
Graduate School
Uppsala University’s multidisciplinary Graduate School in sustainable development, located at Campus Gotland, started in January 2021. 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:
- Sustainable destination development
- Gotland’s sustainable energy system transition: resources, demand, and planning
