Networking and outreach
To promote and strengthen the AM activities at the Faculty of science and technology, the AM@Å initative organises and participates in different networking and outreach activities.
Open seminars
AM@Å organises a series open seminars together with U-PRINT and the AM4Life Competence Centre. This series goes under the name of Additive Manufacturing @ Uppsala University (AM@UU), and aim to broaden knowledge of Additive Manufacturing (AM) applications from life science to metallurgy, and to let audience to learn more about AM from both academic and industrial perspectives.
These seminars are held at the Ångström Laboratory or broadcasted on Zoom (registration required), and are open to all interested.
Planned seminars are listed below and further details will be announced on the LinkedIn channel of the AM4Life Competence Centre, and sent out on our e-mail list.
Use the following form to the seminar series and register for seminars:
