The Department of Materials and Production (MP) is a wide-ranging research and educational environment at Aalborg University with a mission to meet future demands for new materials and production systems by directing the entire value chain, from basic material understanding, applications in mechanical constructions, to industrial production and management. At the department, we have strong international and innovative research groups working with fundamental research as well as strategic and applied research. Our research and educational programs cover the domains of materials, mechanics, physics, production techniques, and management engineering and innovation. We are located in two of Denmark's biggest cities: Copenhagen and Aalborg. From these locations, we conduct our research and practice interdisciplinary collaboration with both national and international partners to ensure innovative and applicable results.
