Faculty of Science and Technology

The call for faculty-funded research time is now open. Applications should be submitted no later than May 17.

Are you interested in popular science and like the idea of presenting your research in the Elektra bar in Umeå? Or do you have a colleague that you think would be a good candidate?

Register now and take the chance to get valuable information, application tips, and to ask questions to expert evaluators during an online VR kickoff from 12–13 on Thursday, March 16. 

Umeå University now has its first own framework agreement for the purchase of translation and proofreading services. All translators and proofreaders have experience of academic texts or texts relevant to the higher education sector and have been assessed based on quality. They are also named, which makes it easy to build long-term relations.

How do we tackle the challenges and knowledge gaps created by the green transition?

On February 22, nearly 50 of the faculty's supervisors gathered in Aula Biologica to learn more about ethics in doctoral education and to network across departmental boundaries.

On February 22nd the Faculty of Science and Technology invites supervisors to its third supervisor day, this time on the topic of ethics in the doctoral education.

Departments and centres at the Faculty of Science and Technology are invited to nominate candidates for honorary doctorates. Nominations must include a motivation and the deadline for nominations is Friday 28 April.

Time to chat with your colleagues and register a mixed team of four people, wax your skis and maybe dress out. Above all, we look forward to a fun afternoon together in the spirit of wellness on March 1.

Faculties of Medicine and Science and Technology invite researchers to the Research Infrastructure Day, 15 March, an all-day event focusing on research infrastructure.

This event is a first of its kind and organised by the faculties together.

Do you want to start a research project together with a company or an organisation? As a researcher at Umeå University, you now have the opportunity to apply for a doctoral resource through the Industrial Doctoral School.
The call is open until 18 March.

Congratulations to Sonja Stenmark, the 2022 Best Lab Manager Award winner!
