CaIFF - a new initiative dedicated to colloids and interfaces in food and pharma - what is it and how can I engage?

Sunday 6 Jul 2025, 13:00 → 18:00 Europe/Copenhagen

Aud. A2-70.04 (Thorvaldsensvej 40, University of Copenhagen)

Jacob Kirkensgaard (Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen)

The purpose of ESS Lighthouse – Colloids and Interfaces in Food and Pharma (CaIFF) is to perform cutting-edge research within colloid and interface science, focusing on complex out-of equilibrium multiphase systems and their investigation by neutron and X-ray scattering techniques, supported by strong local research infrastructure at the host organizations.

Please join this workshop where we explore how various stakeholders can engage with CaIFF and explore opportunities for mutual benefit.
