Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability

On April 16, 2026, the Uppsala node of WISE-EST will be officially inaugurated at the Ångströmlaboratoriet in Uppsala. The event will take place from 09:30 to 15:00 CET in the Siegbahn lecture hall.

When the WISE research and technology platform (WISE RTP) CII at Chalmers University of Technology was launched a year ago, the team expected a gradual development after inauguration.

We are pleased to announce that WISE Networking Day 2026 will take place on November 23–24, 2026.

Are you preparing a proposal for WISE-ap3? Make sure you’re fully equipped to meet its strong sustainability ambitions.

”My appointment reflects the board’s ambition to further strengthen and embed sustainability within WISE. In this role, my responsibility is to ensure that sustainability is fully integrated across all WISE activities”, says Professor Joseph Samec, WISE Director for Sustainability.

What if electronic devices could simply disappear once their job is done? From temporary medical implants to short-term diagnostic tools, researchers are exploring materials that perform like conventional electronics but safely degrade when no longer needed.

WISE Dialogue 2026 has successfully wrapped up, gathering nearly 400 participants from academia, industry, and the public sector.

Join us for the 8th Machine Learning Meets Materials Science Seminar, part of the WASP–WISE initiative! Mark your calendars: March 25 at 10:00!

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

“The WISE initiative is presently the most important initiative in materials science in Sweden. It is both exciting and imperative that MAX IV supports the programme by actively engaging in its activities. The WISE Dialogue is a great opportunity to learn about the latest developments and explore opportunities for deeper collaboration”, says Olof Karis, Director of MAX IV.
