Risø DTU collaborates at Danish, European and international levels with universities, research institutions and technological institutes.
Risø enters into strategic collaboration with institutions whose disciplines are close to Risø's own in order to further synergy, division of labour and the fulfilment of Risø's objectives.
Centre for Advanced Technology (CAT)
CAT is a science park created by the Technical University of Denmark, the Roskilde University Centre and Risø. Here, new high-tech companies can become established, carrying out research and development in collaboration with researchers from the three institutions.
Centre for Fundamental Research: Metal Structures in Four Dimension
The work in the centre aims at exploring the heterogeneous structure of metallic materials and understanding how this responds over time (the fourth dimension) to changes in stimuli such as stress and temperature. A key technique is 3 dimensional x-ray Diffraction (3DXRD) microscopy. By exploiting the new insight offered by 3DXRD microscopy, we further seek to derive fundamental theories and formulate models for structural development within materials.
The centre is placed in Risø's Materials Research Division and financed by The Danish National Research Foundation.

Centre of Energy, Environment and Health (CEEH)
Centre for Energy, Environment and Health (CEEH) is a strategic research center.
CEEH is a collaboration between scientists from different research fields, with the mission to develop a system to support planning of future energysystems in Denmark, where both direct and indirect costs related to environment, climate and health are considered.

CLIMAITE
Climaite is a Danish research centre, which investigates in how climatic changes will affect biological processes and natural ecosystems.
Contact: Claus Beier, Biosystems Division
CONFIRM
Centre for Continuous Flow Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry. The main objective of CONFIRM is to improve the possibilities for Danish environmental, ecological and agricultural scientists to use continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometry.

Danish Centre for Composite Structures and Materials (DCCSM)
Funding has been granted for a new centre at Risø DTU to increase the operating reliability of wind turbines: The Danish Council for Strategic Research’s Programme Commission on Energy and Environment has granted funding of DKK 38.0 million for the establishment of the Danish Centre for Composite Structures and Materials (DCCSM). The new centre will be headed by Senior Scientist Bent F. Sørensen, Materials Research Division at Risø DTU.
DanScatt
Danish Neutron Scattering Center is a Danish Research Council center with the aim of supporting Danish scientists and students performing neutron scattering research.

Fusion Research Association
Risø participates in the EU fusion research programme, collaborating notably with the Max Planck Institute of Plasma Physics in Garching on optical diagnostics and the numerical simulation of fusion plasmas.

The Nordic Centre for Luminescence Research
The Centre is a provider of essential infrastructure support to a wide range of research groups - primarily university geology departments and national geological survey organisations, but also including archaeological departments, museums and local government archaeological offices.

Strategic Electrochemistry Research Center (SERC)
Electrochemical cells have the potential to play a crucial role in the energy sector of a sustainable society: In electricity generation (as fuel cells), in fuel production (as electrolysers) and for gas cleaning. In addition they have important uses as gas sensors. The Fuel Cells and the Solid State Chemistry Department at Risø are the project leader of a new strategic research centre on fundamental aspects of electrochemical cells. The aim is to extend our understanding significantly of the material limitations which currently impede a widespread commercialization of the technology. The consortium behind the centre consists of the leading Danish research institutions in the field and a wide spectrum of industrial partners.

URC
The UNEP Risoe Centre on Energy, Climate and Sustainable Development (URC) supports the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in pursuing its aim of incorporating environmental aspects into energy planning and policy worldwide, with specific emphasis on developing countries.
URC is sponsored by UNEP, the Danish International Development Assistance (Danida) and Risoe National Laboratory.
