From January 1st 2023 NJV is no longer a department. Our research and teaching activities continue as before just within another organisational structure. You still find us and our animals and fields at our facilities on campus and at Röbäcksdalen in Umeå.
The first of January 2023 the NJV department merged with other departments at SLU and you will find our staff under the following new organisations:
The research groups, offices, meeting rooms, lecture rooms and laboratories are located on campus in Umeå. The research station Röbäcksdalen (experimental fields and dairy research barn) is located about 5 km from campus just south of Umeå centre. Both Umeå campus and Röbäcksdalen are about 4 km from Umeå airport. There's a train station (Umeå Östra) and a bus station (NUS) at the hospital, which is a 5 minute walk from SLU campus. There's also a train and a bus station in central Umeå, which are about 3 km from Röbäcksdalen.
