Here is 2023’s granted Industrial PhD projects!
This year’s industrial doctoral projects involve, among other things, developing environmentally friendly, smart patches for continuous remote monitoring of patients, developing cell-based therapy with hydrogel to be used in cartilage damage caused by osteoarthritis or trauma, and replacing the toxic and fossil-based solvent hexane with supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) in food and feed applications and in the production of vegetable oils.

The program has been advertised annually since 2014, which has now resulted in roughly 120 doctoral students.
The aim of the program is to contribute to excellent research in SSF´s areas: natural science, technology and medicine. The research shall promote cross-fertilization between academia and industry and contribute to the education of doctoral students in areas that are strategically relevant and strengthening to Sweden’s competitiveness.
The projects will start in the spring of 2024.
