Collaboration

We strive to be a driving force for a sustainable future and promote the green transition of society. The complex challenges we face cannot be solved by individual actors but require coordinated efforts. In our research, collaboration with other universities, companies and organizations is therefore essential.


Much of our research is applied. Through our close collaboration with industry and business networks, we can ensure that we work with the problems they face and that the solutions we develop can be put into practice. 

Some of our research is of a more fundamental nature. This type of research sometimes leads to the creation of new companies, or the reorientation of existing ones.

Infrastructure

We also offer both large and small companies to use parts of our research infrastructure for a fee. This happens within LTH Open Door, Biotech Heights and Lund University Pre-Pilot Plants.

Projects and collaborations

Companies can be partners in a research project when the research question is of interest. The company usually contributes with a problem description, financial support and/or resources in the form of infrastructure or personnel. We welcome new corporate partners so please get in touch!
