Welcome to the Department of Materials Science and Engineering
At the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, we work to find technical solutions in sustainability and energy and other areas that improve human living conditions. We offer interdisciplinary education at different levels and conduct advanced research at our seven research divisions.
The department has access to modern laboratory infrastructure and actively collaborates with companies and other universities, in Sweden and the rest of the world.
Research
The department has six research divisions that conduct high quality research in their area of specialisation.

Collaboration
Engaging with society is one of our most important missions and is crucial to our success.

Infrastructure
Research infrastructures are essential tools in our researchers' work and much of the institution's infrastructure is open.
