Faculty and research constellations
WISE is primarily based at seven of Sweden’s foremost research universities, which together form a complete and complementary knowledge base to successfully execute the core activities in research and education. Across the seven universities, and within the areas of materials science central to WISE activities, 12 scientists have been selected as Wallenberg Scholars, 30 scientists have been selected as Wallenberg Academy Fellows, and 76 scientists have been awarded an ERC starting, consolidator, advanced, or synergy grant.
