The Process Industry Centre PIC was founded in 2008 by the Swedish process industry and the Foundation for Strategic Research. Located at Lund University and Linköping University, the aim of PIC is to provide knowledge for the process industry to ensure future success. The academic disciplines of Chemical Engineering, Automatic Control and Production Economy form the centre with several industrial partners from the Swedish process industry.
PIC-Lund is a collaboration between the departments of Chemical Engineering and Automatic Control and several partner companies. The research projects emphasize case studies and the development of decision-making tools. The centre also offers short courses for the industry twice yearly.

The research at the Centre is focused on integrating optimal planning and management in the process industry, and represents a cooperative effort involving the subjects Production Economics, Optimisation Theory and Automatic Control at Linköping University.
