Physics for Industry

CFisUC collaborates with industry and will further improve the already existing interaction. The technological platforms (TAIL-UC and LCA- UC), under the leadership of CFisUC members, will provide high-quality specialised services to the research community, both at the industrial and academic level, with new agreements being pursued and extended. We will pursue our collaboration with Chemical, Pharmaceutical, and Electromechanical industries, finding solutions for scientific or technological problems, proposing new ideas (co-crystals for medicines, organometallic luminescent compounds for OLEDs, technology for hydrogen storage) resulting from our research. MSc and PhD projects done in collaboration with industry are cherished.
