Timeline for registration and inventory
Registration of new infrastructures takes place during the month of February. Infrastructures that are already registered only need to notify the research infrastructure officer if they wish to deregister.
By April at the latest, the Council for Research Infrastructure at Umeå University announces its decision on which submitted infrastructures meet the criteria and will be included in the University’s official register.
Infrastructures approved for registration will receive instructions for creating a webpage to be published among the university-wide research infrastructures on umu.se.
How to register a new research infrastructure
If you are responsible for a research infrastructure that is not yet registered, please follow these steps:
- Read the definition of a research infrastructure at Umeå University.
- Assess whether your infrastructure meets the criteria.
- If it does, log in to the Research Infrastructure Portal and complete the form no later than 28 February 2026. If you do not have access to the portal, contact the research infrastructure officer.
Once your infrastructure is approved for registration, learn more about how to present it on umu.se.
Research infrastructures at Region Västerbotten
Research infrastructures at Region Västerbotten that are wholly or partly used in research at Umeå University may also be registered and displayed on umu.se. If you wish to register such an infrastructure but do not have access to the Research Infrastructure Portal, please contact the research infrastructure officer via email.
Benefits of registration
- Only registered research infrastructures are displayed on the university-wide research infrastructure webpage.
- Infrastructures at the Faculty of Medicine and the Faculty of Science and Technology must be registered at Umeå University to apply for faculty funding related to research infrastructure.
- Registration enables the University to plan strategically for the funding and prioritisation of research infrastructures.
