Research Strategy 2023-2027

In our research strategy, we have identified four specific themes that broadly span research within the six research sections of the department: Sustainability, Health & Disease, Quantum Technologies, and Materials of the Future. 

Research Themes

Department of Chemistry in the Quantum Research at SCIENCE

Quantum technologies will revolutionise our lives in the coming years – in ways that can be difficult to comprehend. The Faculty of Science (UCPH SCIENCE) is home to some of the world’s most advanced quantum technology research environments.
