Sweden – a Big Science nation

ESS

Big Science Sweden is Sweden’s official Industrial Liaison Office (ILO) and the link between Swedish high-tech industry, academia, institutes, and the large-scale research facilities in which Sweden is a member. In practical terms, we help Sweden supply equipment, materials, and services to Big Science research facilities around the world.

Two of the world's most powerful and renowned research facilities are located in Sweden.

Big Science Sweden is mandated by the Swedish Government, and funded by Vinnova (Sweden’s Innovation Agency) and The Swedish Research Council (Vetenskapsrådet).

Superconducting magnet technology is the backbone of the PET/MR scanner, and this technology has evolved thanks to research centres like CERN and within industry teams like General Electric.
