Luleå University of Technology (LTU) has been a prestigious higher learning institution since its establishment in the early 1970s, and pioneers some of the geological science and environmental sustainability.

Students are able to undertake the Dual-award PhD Program, whereby students enroll as PhD candidates at both Monash and Luleå on a common research topic under joint supervision. The students spend a minimum of one year researching at each university, submit two dissertations and satisfy the academic requirements of each university. Duration of candidature is four years.
Strong ongoing collaboration in research in all departments of Engineering, supported by local and Swedish STINT (Swedish Institute for International Cooperation in Research and Teaching) grants. Monash researchers can also join Luleå collaborators as partners in EU research programs. Over 80 journal and conference papers have resulted from the collaborative research so far.
