WISE - Research Platforms and Facilites

Luleå University of Technology hosts several research and technology platforms (RTP) and facilities within the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE). Together, these environments provide advanced infrastructure, analytical capabilities and expertise for research and innovation in sustainable materials, manufacturing processes and future technologies.

WiseEST

WiseEST is a joint research technology platform between Luleå University of Technology and Uppsala University, funded by WISE - Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability. World-class and versatile tribological testing facilities and extensive and advanced materials analysis capabilities, combined with the excellence and experience of tribology experts from two leading universities in tribology

• WiseEST – Enabling Sustainable technology Transitions

WISE ACT@LUMIA

This RTP aims at complementing the LUMIA materials research infrastructure at LTU with several advanced techniques, especially for elemental and structural analysis. The LUMIA facility will offer valuable capabilities in the environment of green technologies emerging in northern Sweden, where LTU is expected to play an important role for R/D and competence supply. The equipment includes a plasmaFIB-SEM system (Focused Ion Beam Scanning Electron Microscopy) and an instrument for 3D/4D spectral/dynamic X-ray computed tomography (XCT).
