Projects with support from WISE

The activities within WISE take on various forms. For instance, guest professors engage in research at Uppsala University, supported by funding from WISE. In other instances, there is collaboration between industrial doctoral students and researchers from Uppsala University in shared research projects.

The calls for proposals are categorized into academic and industrial collaborations. The following is a list of doctoral students, industrial doctoral students, and postdoctoral researchers actively involved in projects backed by WISE.

WISE Research Technical Platforms

WISE Additive	WISE Additive is a national platform for additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, a resource-efficient manufacturing technology of complex, multifunctional materials and components.
WISE Enabling Sustainable Technology Transitions	WISE EST focuses on how materials can be tailored to enhance energy efficiency and increase lifetimes of established as well as new innovative engineering systems.
Near Ambient Pressure XPS	Near Ambient Pressure XPS involves using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to study the surfaces of materials. In the LigHt technology platform at Uppsala University, the tool is integrated with new instrumentation for extreme elemental sensitivity and structural analysis.
