EuroNanoLab is an initiative to establish a large scale distributed nanofabrication research infrastructure. We have also close cooperation with the nanofabrication infrastructures of Denmark (DTU Danhip), Germany (KNMF/KIT and MacroNano/TU Ilmenau), Finland (Micronova/Aalto University) and Switzerland (CMI/EPFL) that are potential associated partners for EuroNanoLab. The research infrastructures within EuroNanoLab apply user-fee based open-access to tools, processes and services for users from academy and industry.
