Collaborate with us!
Third stream activities are multifaceted and can encompass everything from communicating research results and research partnerships to utilising research results in practical applications. Partnering with the community at large is one of our most important tasks and of great importance to our progress.
Here are just some of the ways that you can connect and partner with us and benefit from our skills and knowledge.
SOURCE Of KNOWLEDGE
Book in your study visit and school activities, ask our researchers questions, attend seminars, read our scientific journal articles or outreach presentations.
RESEARCH PARTNERSHIPS
Read more about different forms of research partnership, the infrastructure we have available and how to find the right contacts.
EDUCATION COLLABORATION
Give assignments within our courses, offer degree projects, host guest lectures and study visits or mentoring. Employ our students.

LIFELONG LEARNING
You are welcome to contact our otureach coordinator
You are of course welcome to contact our researchers and teaching staff directly. But if you are unsure of who to contact, you can also contact the Department’s outreach coordinator and head of department Åsa Kassman Rudolphi. She will be able to inform you about opportunities and direct you to the right person.

Marika Edoff is interviewed about solar cell research in the UU research podcast
2021-03-31
Marika Edoff belongs to the world elite in solar cell research, hear her talk about what is happening in the field right now and what research that is going on in her research group. Among other things, there is hope for an upcoming technological leap with so-called tandem solar cells. By combining cells of different materials that absorb light in different parts of the solar spectrum, one could increase the efficiency compared to today's solar cells by more than a third.
