Our research topics are humans, environment and technology and their interaction relationships. We have identified four focus areas for research that are wide-ranging  and well-established. We have also identified four development areas that are narrower, emerging areas.

We are experts in our focus areas:

• Biosciences and health
• Information technology
• Cultural identity and interaction
• Environment, natural resources and materials

We are adding our focus to the development areas:

Steel research

• Mining and Mineral field
• Business and Economics
• Research-based teacher training

Our width – with all fields of study under one roof – enables us to have a multidisciplinary approach to the important challenges for the future.  Many of our strong fields combine several fields, such as how wireless technology lead to “connected health” – preventive healthcare through wireless health monitoring that will be integrated in the everyday life through your own mobile phone.
