AIMday in Lund leads to exciting prestudies
Together with industry and academia, FAIR, CERN, EISCAT, and F4E will now be getting the prestudies under way, which are aimed at tackling the challenges identified by the research organisations in conjunction with the AIMday.
The prestudies span a range of technological fields. The project partners will be examining in depth, for example, solid state power amplifiers (SSPA) for large research infrastructures, metallurgical bonding of tungsten to a copper alloy, and truncated cosine-theta magnet design.
Collaborations with potential for business
Fredrik Engelmark, Business Developer at Big Science Sweden, is pleased with how an AIMday event can initiate new collaborations.
“Looking back, we can see how the discussions during an AIMday, where representatives from a research facility, industry and academia get together around the same table, have resulted in really interesting projects that have strengthened research collaborations and generated significant business for Sweden.”
Prestudies and partnerships
The prestudies and partnerships resulting from our AIMday Big Science Technology 2024 are as follows:
UU/FREIA – EISCAT

Diffusion bonding of W and Cu
FREIA/Examec – GSI/FAIR
Truncated cosine-theta magnet design
AIMday Big Science Technology
An AIMday is an exchange of knowledge and ideas focused on finding novel approaches to real-world challenges. The idea is that a broad mix of academics and representatives from high-tech companies can offer different perspectives and propose surprising new avenues to solving problems. This promotes continued cooperation between Big Science organisations and Swedish industry and academia.
