New Centre of Excellence in space
The purpose of the centre för Space Technology is to make academia and industry grow and develop together.
– For a university, the community-building connection to industry is very important, there must be contact points for both research and education, says Olle Persson, Operations Manager at Centre for Space Technology.
SSC and Luleå University of Technology already have a history of extensive collaborations behind them. The new centre will contribute to more joint project opportunities and also collaboration around space-related infrastructure and lab environments.
– The space industry is in a fantastically exciting phase, and development is happening very quickly. The high pace of innovation required for SSC to continue to be a leading global player presupposes good and close collaborations with universities and other partners. With this formalized collaboration, we can deepen our relations with Luleå University of Technology and increase our innovation capacity and continue to stay at the forefront of development, says Karin Holmqvist, Head of Innovation Programme Strategy at SSC.
A Centre of Excellence at Luleå University of Technology is an organization structure for close collaboration between the university and external partners in business and public sector. The aim is to develop and utilize skills in a particular activity through research and development.
