Research centers and other networks
Commitment to a center formation is a good alternative for companies that want to work more long-term with research. Here it is possible to propose and run research projects that require more focused investments. Engaging in a center formation leads to both long-term knowledge building within a relevant subject area and a well-developed network of contacts.
The Department of Materials Science and Engineering runs or participates in several research centers and other larger collaborations within and outside Uppsala University:
Additive manufacturing initiative at the Ångström laboratory (AM@Å)
Medtech Science & Innovation centre
Centre for Natural Disaster Science (CNDS)
Centre for Photon Science at Uppsala University
Centre for Renewable Electrical Power onversion (in Swedish)
Uppsala Berzelii Technology Center for Neurodiagnostics
Upptech (Uppsala University School of Technology)
Ångström Materials Academy, ÅMA
