Research
We are pushing back the frontiers of our research far beyond the outer reaches of the solar system and into the smallest particles imaginable – from exploring the environment in space to understanding the internal chemistry of organisms and ecosystems.
Strong research environments
European research initiatives or centres of excellence that pull together a research area for all of Sweden. There are many ways to collaborate across disciplinary, organisational and national boundaries.
Research infrastructure
Research infrastructures are tools that researchers use in their work – from advanced laboratories to research stations and computational capacity.
Our research strenghts
With annual publication of more than 2,000 articles in science and technology, obtaining an overview of all the research being conducted can be a challenge.
We have gathered information about seven of our most prominent areas, which involve many research groups across multiple departments.
Meet our researchers
UppTalk
UppTalk is a popular science seminar series via Zoom where you get to enjoy interesting seminars with researchers from Uppsala University every other Tuesday at lunch.

Celsius–Linnaeus Lectures
Every year the Disciplinary Domain of Science and Technology organises the Celsius–Linnaeus Lectures, in which world-class researchers give lectures that are open to all.
Our Departments
Our researchers break new ground in multiple areas every day. Over 50 research groups in science and technology at Uppsala University are regarded as being of world-leading standard. They can be found in all of the disciplinary domain’s departments and fields.
Are you interested in exploring publications in a specific area or curious for more information about research groups in science and technology?
We have researchers affiliated with research groups at different divisions, which in turn operate within departments. The disciplinary domain has a total of 12 departments covering fields in biology, computer science, physics, earth sciences, chemistry, mathematics and engineering.
Our departments
- Department of Cell and Molecular Biology
- Department of Chemistry, Ångström Laboratory
- Department of Chemistry, BMC
- Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering
- Department of Earth Sciences
- Department of Ecology and Genetics
- Department of Electrical Engineering
- Department of Information Technology
- Department of Mathematics
- Department of Materials Science and Engineering
- Department of Organismal Biology
- Department of Physics and Astronomy
Research Centres
The domain hosts a number of centres, projects and initiatives that vary in size and purpose. They pave the way for enhanced collaborations and better exchanges of experience for greater quality in research and education. The principal responsibility for a centre generally rests with one of the departments.
International collaborations and networks
At the Disciplinary Domain of Science and Technology, we participate in several important collaborations and networks togheter with the whole university, such as Enlight.
The faculty also takes part in the collaboration NORDTEK together with other Nordic and Baltic universities with technical faculties.
The Disciplinary Domain of Science and Technology also has a network in Biophysics. The Biophysics Network is a cross disciplinary effort to strengthen biophysics at Uppsala University. The network spans over four departments in the Science and Technology faculty.
