Scientific Description
NanoLabNL is the Dutch national facility for nanotechnology research. Its aim is to build up, maintain and provide a coherent and accessible infrastructure for nanotechnology research and innovation in the Netherlands. NanoLabNL offers the use of its facilities and expertise to universities, research institutes, start-ups and industry at 4 locations in the Netherlands (Delft, Eindhoven, Groningen and Twente).The decision to make use of only a limited number of research laboratories and to make them accessible to all researchers, both public as well as private, has proven extremely effective. NanoLabNL creates, maintains and provides access to a coherent, high-level, state-of-the-art infrastructure for nanotechnology research and innovation in the Netherlands. Each of the NanoLabNL locations offers a range of basic and expert techniques.

Voucher rounds for new industrial users

The vouchers, worth €7,500 each, entitle holders to 50 - 75 hours of independent use of the facilities (including training) and/or related advice. The vouchers are intended for industrial parties such as start-ups and young companies that are building up a business based on research results. These vouchers allow companies to acquaint themselves with our research facilities in an accessible way, and are a way for us to stimulate commercial activity in this field.

On-site tutorials

such as training sessions, an introduction to nanofabrication and use of the facilities, including expert demonstrations. These sessions are a prerequisite for appreciating the functionality of the nanotechnology equipment.
