The administration – who does what?
Technical-administrative staff
In order for the researcher to be able to research and disseminate their knowledge, and for the teacher to be able to teach we need a competent administration and functioning service team. A competent support organization that develops and builds learning platforms, analyzes finances, maintains premises and builds communication channels.

Book rooms, equipment and schedule
Which rooms are available or booked today? See "today's schedule".
Meeting rooms and equipment
Booking of the meeting rooms Navarino, Tarfala and Ymer is done via TimeEdit and is done by yourself. Go to "Staff" via the TimeEdit link below. There you will also find the booking of computers and tablets.
For other rooms (lecture rooms, computer labs etc.) and to change something in course schedules, please contact lokaler@natgeo.su.se.
Schedule (for courses)
To get the schedule to end up in TimeEdit and to get rooms booked for the course schedule, create a schedule (for example in Excel) for the course and then send it to lokaler@natgeo.su.se. Please provide the course code, otherwise the schedule cannot be booked.
You can get a schedule template to start from, by downloading the previous schedule from TimeEdit. Save the schedule on your own computer (in Excel) before start changing. You do not need to put any effort making the schedule to look nice because the appearance of the schedule is different when it is published on the web.
When the schedule is entered/changed in the TimeEdit database, you get back a link, a shortcut, to the schedule. Check and report any errors. The link can be saved as a bookmark / favorite in the browser. It is always up to date and does not need to be changed even if the schedule changes. Students receive the schedule via this link before the start of the course. The schedule is also automatically available in Athena. Avoid printing or saving as a pdf, as the schedule may then become obsolete.

Environmental work
The goal for the university is to reduce the negative environmental impact and increase the positive one. Negative impacts occur when, for example, we travel on business or do not take environmental considerations into account when purchasing. We create the positive when we educate or disseminate knowledge on issues within the environment and sustainable development.
The slogan "it should be easy to be environmentally friendly" is central to the university's environmental work. That is why we have gathered important information and good links here.
The Environmental Committee prepares environmental issues for the department board and prepares and handles the Environmental Action Plan, which is submitted to the board.
The department's environmental preparation consists of:
- Martina Hättestrand, Environmental Representative
- Erik Hansson
- Moa Holmlund
- Rolf Jacobson
- Malin Stenberg de Serves
