AIMday Materials

Welcome to the 16th AIMday Materials, 14 February 2024
Welcome to AIMday Materials, an event that brings together academic researchers and industry representatives in the field of materials science. The overall aim of the event is to identify and support research and development projects in collaboration, enabling innovations to meet the challenges of tomorrow.

We hope that AIMday Materials 2024 will attract both new and former participants, being just as successful as it has over the last 15 years in bringing new perspectives to industrial challenges, enabling new research collaborations within materials science.

Materials science – a strong research area at Uppsala University
Materials science is an exciting and vibrant interdisciplinary research area at Uppsala University, featuring highly profiled and innovative research groups as well as state-of-the art research facilities. The competences and infrastructures available within areas such as materials synthesis and design; surface modification; materials production; and characterisation, are important for meeting the societal challenges of the future. Some examples of key research application areas include development of new solar cells, new materials for batteries, hydrogen in materials and sustainable energy storage, as well as nanomaterials and biocompatible materials for implants and drug delivery. In addition, new production methods, such as additive manufacturing/3d-printing, is a strategic area within materials science.

We welcome industrial challenges from all areas connected to materials science and we will do our best to find the right expertise to connect you with and to facilitate new research collaborations.
