We work across the entire environmental and sustainability field
IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute is an independent research institute with Sweden’s broadest environmental profile. Together with industry, public agencies, and the research community, we drive the transition to a sustainable society – from science to real-world impact.
We operate across the full environmental and sustainability spectrum, and our activities are organized into several larger areas that bring together related expertise and perspectives. Within each area, there are specialist groups with expertise ranging from natural science analyses of air, water, and soil to technology development, circular material flows, energy and transport, as well as economics, urban planning, and strategic transformation.
Through interdisciplinary collaboration and close cooperation with both industry and the public sector, we are able to combine detailed analysis with a holistic perspective and develop solutions that work in practice.
