Nordic Nanolab User Meeting 2017

NorFab provides access to state-of-the-art laboratories for Norwegian researchers, independent of their academic, institute or company affiliation. The laboratories include the three academic nodes NTNU NanoLab in Trondheim, SINTEF MiNaLab and UiO MiNaLab in Oslo, and University college of Southeast Norway MST-Lab located between Tønsberg and Horten. NorFab provides national access to an infrastructure that contains generic and state-of-the-art equipment applicable for micro- and nanotechnology. All partners have a complementary profile and are committed to a national coordination on investments and further development of the infrastructure. Since inception in 2010 NorFab has already addressed a broad spectrum of users ranging from academic groups focusing on fundamental research and education, to innovative companies with the need for a small scale production facility. NorFab cover all thematic areas described in the National Strategy for Nanotechnology, and the aim of the current project is to further expand the user community. The vision of NorFab is to be a robust and competent backbone consortia supporting and enabling research and innovation for the emerging micro- and nanosystems industry in Norway. The NorFab project therefore aims to maintain a competitive infrastructure for development and pilot fabrication. In order to fulfill this vision, the infrastructure must be maintained at top international level, also in the coming years. This requires continuous upgrading of the equipment and the associated knowledge. This project applies for a continuation of the funding for a new 5 year period (2015-19). The project has a budget of 531 MNOK where 140 MNOK is sought from the Research Council of Norway.

NNUM2017 vil finne sted ved NTNU i Trondheim, 9. mai, kl 12:30 til 10. mai, kl 16.00, 2017. Konferansen vil det første nordiske brukermøtet for renromsbrukere arrangert utenfor Sverige, og forventes å samle deltagere fra de fire nordiske landene, Sverige, Finland, Danmark og Norge. Programmet vil ha et praktisk fokus og bestå av tematiske «tutorials» der avanserte teknikker for nanofabrikasjon og karakterisering vil bli gjennomgått i detalj grunnleggende og avansert nivå. Videre vil 3-4 inviterte foredragsholdere gi faglige inspirerende presentasjoner.Følgende er bekreftet til nå: - Per Delsing, Chalmers University, Sweden, Artificial Atoms and their interactions with light and sound. - Henri Jansen, DTU Danchip, Denmark, Fabrication of 3D fractal silicon nanostructures. - Ursula Gibson, NTNU, Norway, Semiconductor-core glass fibers. I tillegg vil det bli omvisninger på NTNU NanoLab og andre relevante laboratorier ved NTNU. Deltagerne vil også presentere sin egen forskning i en postersesjon, med pris til beste bidrag. Under hele møtet vil det være utstillinger av kommersielle forhandlere av nanorelatert utstyr. Oppdatert informasjon om møtet finnes på NNUM2017s nettside, https://www.ntnu.edu/nano/nnum2017
