We welcome collaborations
It is one of our missions to bring together scientists and students with professionals from industry, hospitals and institutes to understand how we together can address societal needs.
NanoLund has a strong tradition of collaboration. Every year we co-publish with more than 100 different universities and research institutes all over the world, as well as with companies and public organisations, such as hospitals and governmental authorities. The type of the collaborations varies, from cutting-edge research projects, to education or policy making.
We always welcome new contacts and collaborations, and invite you to get in touch if we might be able to support you aims. Below, you find some examples of ways to engage with us.
Outstanding facilities for production & characterisation of materials
Companies regularly collaborate with our scientists in research and development projects using our state-of-the-art open research facilities. We offer help with deposition of materials and access to a comprehensive range of characterisation techniques. Our close proximity to Lund Laser Centre and MAXIV - the Swedish National Laboratory for synchrotron radiation provides us and our partners with an excellent environment for studying materials in all length- and timescales.

Example of how to collaborate
MISTRA Environmental Nanosafety - is one example of an interdisciplinary research-project where scientists from NanoLund collaborate with other universities and companies to develop research, knowledge and best practise on risks associated with nanomaterials and their impact on the environment.
Mistra Environmental Nanosafety
Final report (pdf, 3.7 Mb) of a MISTRA research program to manage risks of nanomaterials, which ended in 2023. The report features 10 highlights comprising the behaviour of nanoparticles in the environment, new methods for the aging and degradation, as well as toxicity assessment. Included materials were polymers, metals, metal oxides and electronics waste.
