Inauguration of the ESS Lighthouse

2025-09-22

On September 18, the ESS Lighthouse: Colloids and Interfaces in Food and Pharma (CaIFF), lead by Professor Martin Malmsten, was officially inaugurated.

CaIFF focuses on out-of-equilibrium multi-phase colloidal systems, their investigation with large-scale neutron- and synchrotron methods, and their application in pharmaceutical and food products (https://pharmacy.ku.dk/research/caiff/). While formally run from the University of Copenhagen and Aarhus University, the links to the Division of Physical Chemistry and COMMONS are strong through already established collaborations and mutual participation in both directions in workshops and seminars. Looking forward, synergies between COMMONS and the Division of Physical Chemistry with CaIFF are expected to develop further. Reflecting this, colleagues from Lund University, Copenhagen University, and Aarhus University all joined the inauguration (together with participants from ESS, industry, and the healthcare sector) and contributed to fruitful and enjoyable discussions about future joint opportunities.
