Sustainability Research

The initiative with LiUST stems from the university’s ambition to take a leading role in the transition towards a more sustainable society. LiU is already a strong player in this field, but LiUST aims to pool resources and create even greater impact – locally, nationally and internationally. It is also fully in line with LiU’s strategic plan and the profile area Sustainable Societal Transformations.

LiU Sustainability Transformations will receive funding amounting to a total of SEK 15 million for the period 2025–2028. It is directly subordinate to LiU’s Vice-Chancellor and is led by a steering group with both internal and external members as well as student representatives. A dedicated student team will also contribute to its operation and ensure a student perspective.
