Stockholm University Center for Circular and Sustainable Systems

Welcome to SUCCeSS!

Welcome to SUCCeSS!

A center for interdisciplinary research in circular and sustainable systems.

SUCCeSS is a new center and virtual meeting place for broad transdisciplinary research on circular and sustainable systems, in collaboration with industries and policymakers. We meet across subject boundaries to create a resource-efficient and competitive economy while protecting the environment.

Our mission:

  • To establish SUCCeSS as a stimulating and leading environment for transdisciplinary and transformative research in the field of circular and sustainable systems
  • To identify and address needs for circular and sustainable systems in collaboration with policy makers, industries and civil society 
  • To promote transdisciplinary training in the field of circular and sustainable systems

Currently at the center

Post doc projects about to start

Three projects were awarded funding in the first ever post doc funding round by SUCCeSS.

  • Design of chemical reagents for fast and sensitive detection of pesticides in water and food
  • Forest materials: opportunities and obstacles for a circular economy in Sweden -FORCES 
  • Safe water reuse in a changing environment, microbial degradation of contaminants in European rivers
Meet the groups and read more about the projects

Lab-on-a-Chip, a new way of understanding the spread of environmental pollutants

Water pollution from industry, agriculture and cities puts pressure on both humans and the environment. Monitoring water quality, using lab-on-a-chip and citizen science may be a new way of safeguarding our water supply and is also the scope of this new project from professor Nicole Pamme’s group within the WISE collaboration.

SU researchers will lead the development of new sustainable fibers for consumer use

The BIO-Lush consortium led by professor Aji Mathew from MMK/SUCCeSS has been awarded almost 5 M€ in funding from the EU-call Circular Bio-based Europe (CBE). The four-year project is planned to start in 2023 and will address a growing need to utilize biomass for sustainable and high-quality fibre extraction.

SUCCeSS webinar: Perspectives on Textiles and chemicals from forestry residues

SUCCeSS webinar: Perspectives on Textiles and chemicals from forestry residues - Read the full article

2060, our population will have increased by 25% and our main resource for textiles and chemicals will be depleted. Development of novel technology must take sustainability aspects into account not only in production but also in resource allocation. In this talk, a residue that currently is burnt to a low value has been upgraded to textile yarn and chemicals/biofuels and sustainability has been assessed by life cycle assessment. Perspectives from industry and academia.
