Pernilla Wittung-Stafshede,
received the Göran Gustafssonprize in chemistry 2009, the
highest national award for
scientific research.
Faculty of Science and Technology
Prioritized research areas of
excellence
The Faculty has prioritized three
research areas of excellence:
• Biological Chemistry
• Ecosystem Dynamics
• Plant and Forest Biotechnology
Umeå University has also
designated Applied IT as a
strategic area of development.
Faculty of Science and Technology
Example of prioritized research area of excellence: Biological Chemistry
Antibiotics from the Norwegian Sea
• Umeå University and the
University of TromsØ
cooperate in the search for
new antibiotics.
• They study extreme
organisms from the
Norwegian Sea to see if
they contain molecules
which can be used for new
medicines.
Faculty of Science and Technology
Example of prioritized research area of excellence: Ecosystem Dynamics
Environmental changes affect lakes
• LEREC is a research area which gives a
comprehensive view of the dynamics in
lakes.
• The researchers develop models for the
ways in which environmental changes
affect lakes.
• Research of the flow of phosphorus,
nitrogen and organic carbon is combined
with for instance studies of the effect of
size variations in fish populations.
Faculty of Science and Technology
Example of prioritized research area of excellence: Plant and Forest Biotechnology
Mapping the genes of Swedish spruce
• Spruce is ecologically and
economically the most
important plant in Sweden.
• This project will for instance
give opportunities to develop
gene tests on different
characteristics of trees, such as
fuel value, frost and disease
resistance.
Faculty of Science and Technology
Strategic area of development
Applied IT
• The area includes more than 150
talented researchers and doctoral
candidates.

Strategic research areas supported
by the Government
The faculty has the main
responsibiltiy for two projects:
• Bio4Energy – Energy research
• Climate effects of the Baltic Sea
– Marine Environment research
Researchers at the faculty are also part of the following areas:
• Sustainable use of natural resources
• E-science
Faculty of Science and Technology
Engineering science recruitment
• Umeå University has granted 60
million SEK to develop engineering
science.
• 32 young researchers will be
recruited to strengthen the quality
of the Master of Science
Programmes in Engineering.
Faculty of Science and Technology
Distinguished Young Researchers
• Umeå University is supporting young
researchers with promising careers in
their fields.
• 26 out of 70 researchers who was
granted the award work at the Faculty
of Science and Technology.
• The Department of Physics was notable
in receiving a total number of eight
grants.
Faculty of Science and Technology
Example cooperation – research
Splendid cooperation
• The Department of Physics and the
company Siemens cooperate to
develop laser-based measuring
instruments.
• The sensitive instruments can
measure low percentage of
pollutants in discharge emissions
and exhaust gases.
Faculty of Science and Technology
Example cooperation – research
Technologies for future vehicles
• IFOR – Intelligent Off-Road Vehicles –
has the goal to create intelligent offroad vehicles for forestry, mining and
agriculture.
• It’s a cooperation beteween SLU – the
Swedish University of Agricultural
Sciences, and a number of companies,
for instance Komatsu Forest, BAE
Systems Hägglunds and LKAB.
