Research into natural resources and the impact of humanity on the environment, as well as solutions for the protection of biodiversity and the sustainable use of natural resources.

Biological nanoscience is multidisciplinary research area, which aims at understanding the functions of microbes and proteins at the nanoscale, as well as finding practical applications in biotechnology and medicine.

At the heart of Evolutionary Research at University of Jyväskylä is curiosity-driven research into scientific phenomena associated with change in biological systems.

Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences has three areas of strength in research: Biological nanoscience, Evolutionary research and Sustainable use of natural resources.

Circular Economy research contributes to the sustainable use of natural resources by enhancing the use of organic and inorganic raw materials.

The highly interdisciplinary area of Chemical Nanoscience develops and applies methods of spectroscopy, computational modeling, synthetic and structural chemistry.

Research in Functional Molecules and Materials is focussed on the design, synthesis, characterization and exploitation of functional molecules and materials spanning the entire chemical spectrum.

The diverse research interests at the Department of Chemistry are categorised into four Core Research Areas — Functional Molecules and Materials, Chemical Nanoscience, Circular Economy and Chemistry Education.

Research in Chemistry Education focusses on research-based development of chemistry teacher education and university-level chemistry education.

The University is managed by the rector and vice-rectors. The highest decision-making body of the University is the University Board.
