Nano and Microtechnologies at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), competences and resources are bundled by a worldwide outstanding science and engineering institution. Foundation of the KIT NanoMicro Center may well be considered the prerequisite for the development of a center of excellence in micro and nanotechnologies in Europe. Fundamental research of the KIT NanoMicro Center provides for a comprehensive knowledge base in nanotechnology and microsystems engineering. On this basis, the Center bridges the gap to technical implementation and marketable products. The focus is on nanobiology as well as on the setup of infrastructure facilities to support the work of internal and external users. For this purpose, the KIT NanoMicro Center links the expertise of scientists across disciplines. Further development of key technologies will contribute to securing sustainable economic growth in Germany and creating attractive jobs.

Multidisciplinary: Nano and microtechnologies aim at systems solutions with novel, functionally tailored materials.
