Research projects

Research at the department is carried out under grants and within international collaborations. For a student this has an entirely practical meaning: you can join a grant project as a team member – with pay, with access to equipment and with the right to be a co-author of a paper.

Want to see what we are working on?

International and national grants, access to European nanoscience infrastructures, computing programmes – all the funded projects of the department for 2020–2025 are collected as cards with funders, numbers and periods.
