Linköping University is renowned for its innovative educational spirit and its long-standing tradition of interdisciplinary studies and research. LiU has its educational roots in the late 1960s and is now one of Sweden’s larger academic institutions. Our strategic enterprises reflect the dual criteria of scientific relevance and of being of benefit to the public.
Education, research and PhD training are the mission of our four faculties: Arts and Sciences, Educational Sciences, Health Sciences and the Institute of Technology.
Faculty
| Number of Faculty Staff | Headcount: 1,459 FTE: 1,291 | Total number of academic faculty staff who are responsible for planning, directing and undertaking teaching only, research only or both teaching and research. Please include: vice-chancellors, deputy vice-chancellors, principals, professors, heads of school, associate professors, principal lecturers, tutors or postdoctoral researchers. Please exclude research assistants*, PhD students who contribute to teaching, hospital residents and exchange scholars or visiting faculty staff who are members of another university. * The important distinction for us is that staff counted as 'research only' should be academically involved in that research and should be likely to publish research outputs. A research assistant, in our understanding, is any individual who is not doing own research and is therefore not likely to publish own research outputs. Said individual is (only) involved in research in terms of operation execution , such as lab technician or equipment operator. |
