Collaborations

Collaboration has been central to the activities of SCML International since its inception. The company maintains active scientific partnerships with academic institutions and research infrastructures in Europe and internationally.

Current collaborations include partners at the University of São Paulo (USP) and University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil, ESPCI Paris in France, University of Bayreuth in Germany, Aalto University in Finland, researchers at NTNU in Norway, and collaborators at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the United States.

Additional collaborations involve Brazilian national laboratories and infrastructures, including the Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory and the Northeast Regional Center for Nuclear Sciences of the National Nuclear Energy Commission of Brazil in Pernambuco. SCML International also collaborates closely with major international large-scale research infrastructures, including MAX IV Laboratory in Sweden, ISIS Neutron and Muon Source in the UK, and the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) in Grenoble, France.

These collaborations are built on complementary expertise, shared access to advanced research infrastructure, and long-standing scientific trust. Many partnerships share an interest in earth-abundant and bio-sourced material platforms, linking fundamental soft-matter and materials physics with long-term sustainability considerations. Collaborative activities include joint experimental programmes, access to large-scale facilities through competitive beamtime, joint supervision of early-career researchers, scientific publishing, and coordinated proposal development. This distributed collaboration model reflects established practice in soft-matter and materials physics, where scientific leadership and experimental execution are commonly shared across institutions and facilities.

SCML International welcomes new collaborations that align with its scientific scope, distributed research model, and long-term sustainability perspective.
