Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center - Aarhus University

The Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO) at Aarhus University is a modern research and education center which was founded by Professor Flemming Besenbacher in 2002. Since then iNANO has promoted research, education and knowledge transfer within nanoscience and nanotechnology with particular emphasis on collaboration across traditional disciplinary boundaries. In 2012 iNANO moved to the newly build and modern iNANO House, increasing the proximity between many collaborating research groups and providing space for an expansion of the necessary research infrastructure. The research at iNANO occurs mainly within five key strategic areas:. On 1 May, iNANO associated Professor Birgit Schiøtt will become dean of the Faculty of Natural Sciences. The state-of-the-art infrastructure platform at iNANO ranges from clean-room facilities for nanofabrication, over chemical synthesis to cell laboratories, and includes state-of-the art equipment for nanocharacterisation using microscopy, diffraction and spectroscopy techniques. The center hosts a multidisciplinary BSc and MSc program in Nanoscience as well as the PhD school iNANOschool.
