Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability

“Undertaking my PhD under the WISE framework has been a wonderful opportunity and positive experience thus far. It has connected me with a strong network of outstanding researchers and provided a collaborative environment focused on solution-oriented research for a more sustainable future,” says Patrick Korir, PhD student at LTU and Höganäs.

A successful partnership between CelluXtreme, KTH, and WISE is redefining what sustainable materials can achieve and deliver.

“The most valuable aspect of this program was meeting different people and understanding different aspects of research”.

Join us for the 9th Machine Learning Meets Materials Science Seminar, part of the WASP–WISE initiative! Mark your calendars: May 20 at 10:00!

Registration is now open for the upcoming WISE Invited Professor Lecture on 4 June 2026, from 3.00–4.00 pm CET.

The 2026 Machine Learning for Materials and Molecular Discoveries (ML2MD) symposium will bring together researchers to discuss recent advances at the intersection of machine learning, materials science, and molecular research.

Sustainability is at the heart of WISE-ap3. All projects are expected to combine cutting-edge materials science with a meaningful contribution to a sustainable future.

During our recent study visit to Kiruna in northern Sweden, participants had the opportunity to explore cutting-edge research, large-scale industry, and unique cultural experiences in an inspiring and unforgettable setting.

Registration is now open for WISE Networking Days 2026, taking place on November
23 – 24, 2026.
