Research centres
Research centres are a way to consolidate and strengthen research areas beyond conventional subject boundaries, where interdisciplinary collaboration between researchers from several research areas can take place. Some only involve Uppsala University researchers, but many are collaborations with other universities and other partners. View a list of research centres.
TECHNICAL PLATFORMS
MAX IV
The world's most modern facility for synchrotron light. This allows scientists from around the world to investigate molecular structures and surfaces in more detail than ever before. Uppsala researchers have strongly contributed to developing the MAX IV.
ESS
The world's most powerful pulsed spallation source, which is currently under construction in Lund. Uppsala University has a mandate to develop new accelerator technology for plant
