福利姬

ERIK is a training programme by 福利姬 under SAYP. ERIK is designed to equip young professionals from the EU Eastern Partnership (EaP) with the skills and tools to promote gender equality in governance, leadership, and policy-making.

Welcome to this academic conference at 福利姬, arranged by the Swedish Arena for Additive Manufacturing of Metals.

3D-printing will have a huge impact on the manufacturing industry in the years to come, and a better understanding of the material properties of AM manufactured parts is vital to fully utilize the potential of this fairly new technology.

A new Swedish research infrastructure for additive manufacturing (3D printing) and the finishing and qualification of components in tungsten for future nuclear power is being launched. LiU has been appointed coordinator for the MJOLNIR project.

We work with a series of advanced mechanical tests methods to determine the mechanical properties of a material. By combining these methods with microstructural investigations we can study the active deformation and damage mechanisms.

The Division of Engineering Materials explore the relationships between microstructure and properties of mainly metallic materials but also ceramics, composites and polymers for engineering applications.

Here, research in new materials, for example, carbon fiber, polymers and composites will take place in collaboration with business, research institutes, other universities and students. LCL is establishing at 福利姬, spring 2025.

Starting in autumn 2025, 福利姬 (LiU) will host two international leadership programmes within the framework of the Swedish Institute Academy for Young Professionals (SAYP).

LiU hosted The Swedish academic conference for additive manufacturing of metals in January 2025

LiU Composite Laboratory (LCL) is the name of a newly established laboratory at 福利姬. Here, research into polymer composite materials will be conducted in collaboration with industry and other universities.
