An Eye for Science

Here we show some concrete examples on how SLU takes on fundamental issues that affect all of us.

R/V Svea investigates the sea

The new Swedish research vessel Svea is now ready to investigate the sea. She is a marine resource for research and environmental assessment.

What does SLU do for the climate?

We provide knowledge, decision support and facts about climate solutions. We teach our students about sustainability and they inspire us to further reduce our impact on climate.
