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.
Our research strengths
Many research areas involve multiple departments, where researchers address adjacent research problems based on their respective disciplines. Here, you can read more about them.
Research collaborations
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.
Doctoral studies
Doctoral studies give you a deep understanding of your chosen field and the competence to engage in independent research. As a doctoral student, you can play a key role in solving the challenges of the future!
Infrastructures
Research infrastructures are tools that researchers use in their work – from advanced laboratories to research stations and computational capacity.
Listen to our researchers
UppTalk is a podcast series in which our researchers discuss current topics and research results.
Science and technology for all
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.
The disciplinary domain organises various activities for the general public every year.
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.
