SAPC research predominantly concerns different aspects of physiology but also development of technology. The research projects are commonly conducted as national or international collaborations.

The Karolinska Institute, which is represented on the SAPC board, is an important national collaborative partner that carries out SAPC-related activities. On the international arena, SAPC has close collaboration with Institute Jozef Stefan, Ljubljana.

Apart from performing independent research and development, the SAPC strives to establish networks and collaborations between industry and governmental agencie and authorities as well as with other centres and universities engaged in different aspects of manned space flight.

Location

SAPC is situated at KTH in Solna (Berzelius väg 13), where the centre shares personnel and laboratory facilities with the KTH-CBH-MTH Environmental Physiology . In particular, the centrifuge and pressure chambers are important for experiments performed in humans.
