Centres and institutes within science
University-wide centre
Centre for the Advancement of University Teaching
The goal of the Centre for the Advancement of University Teaching (CeUL) is to stimulate engaging and high-quality teaching at all levels at Stockholm University. We support staff and departments to develop teaching and courses, and to create learning environments that facilitate and support student learning in the best possible way.
Centres within departments
Within the University, there exist centers, including institutes and field stations, which organisationally belong to an institution. These units are often integrative research environments, involving several subjects and institutions, as well as third parties, but can also be specialised research institutes.
