Aerosol Physics
Aerosol Science underpins much of the modern environmental science and nanotechnology. The groups at the Aerosol Physics Laboratory develop novel real-time instruments to characterize aerosol particles; apply the most modern measurement methods to study emissions of various sources; help in developing new and less emitting technologies for traffic, fuels, combustion systems, engines, and after-treatment devices. The groups also aim at improving our understanding of the aerosol effects on air quality, human well-being, and climate.

Bio and Circular Economy
The aim of the Bio and Circular Economy research group is to develop processes to improve energy and eco-efficiency, to conserve the limited resources of raw materials and to reduce environmental emissions. Our goal is the production and recovery of bioenergy, biochemicals, metals and nutrients from different industrial and urban feedstocks.

Center for Innovation and Technology Research
Capturing business opportunities in the circular economy is the core expertise of the research group Center for Innovation and Technology Research. The group’s expertise supports the transition as its pioneering research has developed new understanding on business models, value networks and ecosystems, and technology commercialization in systemic circular economy.

Environmental Policy
The groups within Regional and Environmental Studies develop new approaches on cities, regions and the environment. The studies clarify the essence of urban sustainable development and produce also practicable solutions to problems of urban governance.
