Joakim Sandberg joins the Big Science Sweden team

With one eye on procurement and the other on company capabilities, our new colleague Joakim Sandberg is set to build bridges between companies in Skåne and research infrastructures. With a master in mechanical engineering, he splits his time between Big Science Sweden and the Division of Production and Materials Engineering at Lund University (LTH).

Joakim, what will be your main focus at Big Science Sweden?

I’ll be keeping a close eye on procurement opportunities from Big Science facilities such as ESS, MAX IV, ESRF, and ILL, and working to match these with the skills and capabilities of Swedish companies.For example, we’re organising AIMday Big Science Technology on 30 September 2025, where industry, research facilities, and academia will dive deep into current technical challenges. It’s definitely an event to watch! We’re hoping for strong participation from companies in Skåne.

What do you hope to contribute?

I aim to establish new connections between companies and Big Science facilities, with their demanding and complex needs, and to encourage long-term collaboration between Swedish industry and research infrastructures.
