UCPH Chemistry receives DKK 19 million grant from the new "Villum Infrastructure Programme"

The Department of Chemistry congratulates Associate Professor Kirsten Marie Ørnsbjerg Jensen, Assistant Professor Rebecca Pittkowski, and Assistant Professor Sara López Paz with the DKK 19 million grant from the new "Villum Infrastructure Programme".

Associate Kirsten Marie Ørnsbjerg Jensen: "We're incredibly grateful and super excited to receive funding from the Villum Foundation for new infrastructure for materials characterization. Our new lab will provide completely new possibilities for materials research at our department and speed up our efforts in developing and understanding new materials for energy and quantum technologies. I look forward to establishing the laboratory along with Sara López Paz and Rebecca Pittkowski. What a Christmas present!"

Cutting-edge equipment for research

For the first time, Villum Foundation is awarding grants for research infrastructure through the new Villum Infrastructure Programme.

Three projects will receive a total of DKK 52.1 million for advanced research equipment, strengthening Denmark’s leading research environments.

The three projects are:

• Multimodal & Modular Microscopy (University of Copenhagen) - custom-built microscopes that sharpen the view of living organisms.
• Advanced AI Infrastructure for Green Energy Transition (Aalborg University) - an AI-platform dedicated to accelerating the green transformation of energy systems.
• Advanced Characterization Lab for Energy & Quantum Materials (University of Copenhagen) - cutting-edge instruments to map the structure and properties of materials.
