The Faculty of Science and Technology hosted representatives from authorities companies and trade at the Ångström Laboratory for discussions on space-related research and improvement.
On 13 March, the Faculty of Science and Technology hosted a meeting on space-related research at the Ångström Laboratory, with the goal of bringing collectively key actors round present research and improvement subjects. Representatives from the Swedish National Space Agency, the Swedish Armed Forces’ area division, the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce in Uppsala, and Uppsala Innovation Centre attended, along with researchers from the school.
The meeting was opened by Marcus Lindahl, Vice-Dean for Collaboration, and Staffan Svärd, Deputy Vice-Rector, who welcomed members and launched the actions at the Ångström Laboratory.
During the morning, a broad vary of space-related research was introduced, with Vice-Rector Charlotte Platzer Björkman main the discussions. The shows included research on how cells reply to microgravity and how satellite-based distant sensing is used to observe glaciers and ice sheets.
Research on programming fashions for radiation-tolerant processors in satellites and optimisation strategies for complicated area functions was additionally highlighted. The programme additional included shows on the Ångström Space Technology Centre (ÅSTC) in addition to research in area plasma physics, planetary physics and area climate.
Current initiatives in the area sector
Director General Ella Carlsson and Head of Research Johan Köhler introduced the Swedish National Space Agency’s actions and new initiatives, together with dual-use facets, research faculties, competence centres and the satellite tv for pc worth chain.
Patrik Perers, Chair of the Swedish Armed Forces’ research and know-how improvement in area, outlined ongoing and future research and improvement collaborations.
A rising sector
The area sector is quickly evolving, with rising interplay between know-how, research and societal wants. Uppsala University is effectively positioned to contribute broad scientific experience to the rising Swedish area ecosystem.
The subsequent step could also be to put the groundwork for collaborations with firms in the area lively in the area sector. If you could have questions or are in search of contacts for additional collaboration, don’t hesitate to get in contact with our research advisers at [email protected].
