Collaboration

Shaping the future together! We collaborate with academia, industry, and the society to develop ideas that make a real difference.

Through strong partnerships and scientific excellence, we enable research to grow, projects to develop and education to be enriched – allowing the principles of chemistry to be transformed into sustainable solutions for the future. Our researchers work with schools, companies, public authorities and organisations, contribute to the media and public inquiries, and share their expertise to inspire the next generation of researchers and students, and to benefit society.

ARTEMI is the National Research Infrastructure for Advanced Electron Microscopy, designated by the Swedish Research Council (VR). It comprises a distributed infrastructure that involves six partner universities, each offering complementary instrumentation and methodologies.

CEM4MAT is an initiative originating from the electron microscopy (EM) facilities in the Stockholm-Uppsala region. This regional platform aims to enhance the accessibility and transparency of the Transmission Electron Microscopy research infrastructure for both external and internal users. The four nodes of CEM4MAT, each specialising in Materials Sciences, are Uppsala University, Stockholm University, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, and SWERIM.

NordTEMhub is a Nordic University hub, as defined by NordForsk, specialising in advanced electron microscopy. The aim is to leverage the well-established environments within the Nordic region to intensify collaboration between nodes, enhance access, optimise instrument usage, and build Nordic expertise in advanced microscopy, with a particular emphasis on fostering the younger generation.

SwedNess is a graduate school in neutron scattering sponsored by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research (SSF). It represents a collaborative effort among six Swedish universities: Uppsala, Chalmers, KTH, Linköping, Lund, and Stockholm, and was launched in early 2017. The SwedNess initiative aims to increase the number of neutron scattering users and enhance expertise in this field within Sweden, particularly in light of the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund.

Students from across the Stockholm region get to actively experience science, mathematics, and technology through hands-on experiments at Vetenskapens Hus. High school students can also receive guidance for their projects or take part in Sommarforskarskola, summer research schools, where they can deepen their knowledge in subjects such as chemistry.
