Welcome to Stockholm for a unique vernissage and final presentations of 10 cutting-edge master thesis projects – all exploring the future of “Electrification of pulp and wood components.”
Hosted by TechMark Arena, this transdisciplinary master thesis school brings together innovation across disciplines, industry, and academia to showcase ideas that could redefine how we use bio-based materials.
Curious what’s possible?- Can biomass become affordable, high-value graphite?
- Could paper cool the electronics of tomorrow?
- Is it possible to engineer wood into a muscle-like material?
- What if recycling stations used microwaves to sort materials instantly?
- Can a simple car battery and paper sterilize medical equipment in the field?
Discover the answers, and the bold thinking behind them, from the next generation of researchers. The event begins with a vernissage and light lunch in Stockholm, giving you time to explore the projects and meet the innovators, followed by engaging thesis presentations. Join us for an inspiring afternoon where science, sustainability, and design meet.
Date: 11 June 11:00-16:30
Venue: Innoversum RISE Drottning Kristinas Väg 61 114 28 Stockholm
The event will be held in English.
Agenda:
After the registration a mingle lunch will be served during vernissage at 11:00 on the 4th floor, outside Innoversum.
