The Institute of Applied Environmental Research (ITM) in Stockholm, Sweden, was created in 1992, when the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (SEPA) transferred four of its laboratories to Stockholm University.
Research conducted at ITM includes the following disciplines:
• Atmospheric chemistry and physics
• Biochemistry and animal physiology
• Biogeochemistry
• Environmental organic and inorganic chemistry
• Limnology, Ecology and Ecotoxicology
Since 1992, the number of competitive research grants received by ITM has steadily increased and ITM has become more involved in collaborations with other Swedish University departments as well as with many international organizations. ITM has been involved in several on-going EU-funded research projects and through these and other research projects collaborates with most other European countries. Dr. Gustafsson’s research group have previous experience of coordinating a large 4^th framework research programme, GLOBAL-SOC.
