Born in 2017, the Materials Platform is a think tank that receives input from stakeholders inside and outside Aalto University in relation to materials research, education and outreach.
The Materials Platform channels activities to foster multidisciplinary efforts, networking and visibility. Aalto University’s expertise in these areas covers a wide range of fields: from condensed-matter and materials physics, nanoscience and nanotechnology, mechanics and materials to the sustainable use and processing of natural resources. Aalto’s materials research thus contributes to diverse applications in ICT, energy and health technologies, business and design, and many other areas. The innovations based on our materials research provide great opportunities for Finnish and international businesses. More info in our webpages: materialsplatform.aalto.fi
