Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability

We are happy to introduce Francisco Panayo, one of our speakers at the WISE Dialogue conference, March 17-18. Francisco holds a key role as R&D Manager at Hitachi Energy.

“Over the past few decades, computational modeling has gained widespread recognition in both academia and industry as an effective tool for accelerating materials design and deepening our understanding of materials behavior” says Carl-Magnus Lancelot, Technical Sales and Support Engineer at Thermo-Calc Software, responsible for customers in the UK and the Nordics.

Until recently, most advanced 3D micro- and nanofabrication techniques were limited to polymers, restricting the range of materials that could be used. Now, an international research team has published a landmark study in the journal Nature demonstrating a state-of-the-art fabrication technique that overcomes these long-standing material limitations.

Two cutting-edge research projects at Luleå University of Technology have been awarded Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships under the EU’s Horizon Europe programme.

We are pleased to introduce Peter Dahlén as one of our speakers at the WISE Dialogue conference on March 17–18.

The call text for the WISE Academic Project Call 2026–2027 (WISE-ap3) is now available. The application portal opens on 1 December 2026.

WISE is introducing the WISE Research Master’s Thesis, a new research preparatory initiative designed for Master’s students in engineering and natural sciences.
