We carry out research on solutions that will help bring about the «green shift» in industry and public administration.
Topics at the Faculty cover process industry, including robotics and automation; geomatics, including satellite and terrestrial sensors; and environmental technology that promotes a modern social infrastructure and renewable energy.
We also carry out research in mathematics and teacher training for sustainable development.
The Faculty works in close collaboration with the industry sector and public administration, educating professional problem solvers who will help solve social challenges on a national and global level.
Immersion in technology
If you want to study how to use modern, eco-friendly technology, this is the place for you.
