Press and media

Do you have research results that could become a press release? First contact Communications Officers Sara Håkansson and Therese Ek for an initial assessment. After that conversation, the news may be forwarded to the Faculty of Science’s press officer, Johan Joelsson, for the next step.

Guidelines and resources

As a university, we have a duty to engage with wider society, communicate our work and ensure that research results are put to use. It is in the interest of researchers, the university and society that findings – including insights into research methods and limitations – are made accessible to public debate, political decision-making, industry and society at large.

University-wide guidelines, templates and support for outreach can be found at:
