Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability

Join us at WISE Networking Days 2026 on November 23-24 in Göteborg!

Discover how cutting-edge materials research can open new pathways towards a more sustainable future

WISE congratulates its researchers Olle Eriksson, Eleni Stavrinidou, Johanna Rosén, Kimberly Dick Thelander and Emma Sparr on receiving prestigious research grants from the Knut and Alice Wallenberg Foundation.

Who could be your next research partner, industry collaborator, or source of inspiration? Meet the exhibitors at WISE Networking Days on 23–24 November 2026 at NÄST Innovation Destination Torslanda in Göteborg.

“Semiconductors consume a lot of energy, and we are approaching the limits of how much energy can be saved with the technology based on those materials. In principle, superconductors could allow us to increase information density while also improving energy efficiency”, says Prof. Babaev.

Join us for the 10th Machine Learning Meets Materials Science Seminar, part of the WASP–WISE initiative! Mark your calendars: October 28 at 10:00!

The WASP-WISE NEST 2 is the second call in collaborative research focusing on Novelty, Excellence, Synergy, and Teams (NEST).

As part of our interview series leading up to WISE Networking Days 2026, we meet Emma Mattsson, Head of Strategy & Governance at Volvo Group, to discuss sustainable materials, industry-academia collaboration, and the innovations shaping a more sustainable future.

By bringing together automated experiments, advanced chemical analysis and artificial intelligence, the new CircuLab research infrastructure aims to make the development of sustainable materials more integrated and efficient. The platform was inaugurated at Stockholm University on 30 September.

In this series of interviews, you will meet the WISE Fellows. This time you will meet Assistant Professor Yu Chiao Lu, who has joined KTH Royal Institute of Technology as a WISE Fellow.
