Center for X-rays in Swedish Materials Science (CeXS) founded in 2019 focuses on methods for the use of high energy X-rays in materials research and development, and is the academic host of the Swedish Material Science beamline at PETRA III.
NEutron and X-ray science for industrial Technology transitions (NEXT) was founded in 2024. NEXT co-creates knowledge to drive sustainable industrial transformation through materials research and the effective use of large-scale research infrastructures. The NEXT consortium comprises 24 partners and is coordated by KTH Royal Institute of Technology and supported by Vinnova - the Swedish innovation agency.
