Research infrastructure
Through research infrastructures, researchers have access to resources that provide good conditions for developing high-quality research. The University of Gothenburg hosts and participates in several national and international infrastructures.
University-wide research infrastructures
at the University of Gothenburg
Core Facilities
Core Facilities is a university-wide Life Science research infrastructure located at Sahlgrenska Academy. Here you have access to some of Sweden's most advanced techniques and analysis tools for research in eg. medicine, biomedicine and clinical studies. The following units are a part of the Core Facilities: Biobank, Bioinformatics and Data Centre (BDC), Centre for Cellular Imaging (CCI), Experimental Biomedicine (EBM), Mammalian Protein Expression (MPE), OligoNova Hub, Proteomics (PCF).
Skogaryd Research Catchment
The Skogaryd Research Catchment offers a mix of different ecosystems: mires, mature and young forests, lakes and streams. Here, research is conducted to quantify greenhouse gas balances at the landscape scale, including land-atmosphere, land-water, and water-atmosphere exchange, promoting cross-habitat-boundary research.
Gothenburg Research Infrastructure in Digital Humanities
Gothenburg Research Infrastructure in Digital Humanities (GRIDH) at the University of Gothenburg is a research node and infrastructure that focuses on artificial intelligence, archives, and novel ways of documenting and publishing. The infrastructure supports individual researchers and projects with expertise in digital analytics, research data dissemination, data modelling and digitisation.
Herbarium GB
Herbarium GB is a common research infrastructure at the University of Gothenburg, located at the Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences. It has a large collection of dried plants, fungi, algae etc. for comparative and evolutionary studies.
Kristineberg Center
Kristineberg, founded in 1877, is one of the oldest marine stations in the world with a longstanding reputation of pioneering research. Today we provide researchers, education, industry, and entrepreneurs with world-class marine infrastructure, services, and expertise.

Kvinnsam - National library for gender research
KvinnSam is a national library for gender research and a university-wide research infrastructure at the University of Gothenburg. Founded in 1958, with a focus on women’s history and gender research.
The QoG Institute
The Quality of Government (QoG) Institute is an independent research institute within the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg. We are about 30 researchers who conduct and promote research on the causes, consequences and nature of Good Governance and the Quality of Government (QoG) - that is, trustworthy, reliable, impartial, uncorrupted and competent government institutions.
R/V Skagerak
This state-of-the-art research vessel is part of the marine infrastructure at the University of Gothenburg and offers high-tech equipment for marine research and education.
Språkbanken Text
Språkbanken Text is a linguistic data research infrastructure and a language technology research unit. It is part of Språkbanken (http://www.sprakbanken.se/), a national infrastructure supporting research based on linguistic data. Språkbanken Text develops, refines and makes available free linguistic research data, develops and makes available free digital research platforms, and conducts its own research in language technology, including language-based AI.
Swedish Rock Art Research Archives
Swedish Rock Art Research Archives (SHFA) is a research infrastructure at the University of Gothenburg established in 2017. Europewide it is the largest research infrastructure providing researchers, education and the public with modern high quality and historic rock art documentation.
Swedish NMR Centre
The Swedish NMR Centre (SNC) is a National and International infrastructure offering access to one of the best NMR labs in Europe.
Tjärnö Marine Laboratory
Tjärnö Marine Laboratory is located by Sweden's most species-rich marine area in the northern part of Bohuslän province, next to Kosterhavet National Park. Here you find ships, field equipment, diving facilities, laboratories, sea water system, lecture halls, accommodation, dining hall, as well as skilled and helpful staff.
Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem)
Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) is a unique approach to conceptualizing and measuring democracy. They provide a multidimensional and disaggregated dataset that reflects the complexity of the concept of democracy as a system of rule that goes beyond the simple presence of elections.
