Background of NanoLab NL
Since 2004, NanoLabNL is a valued and valuable national nanotechnology infrastructure. 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. NanoLabNL brings about coherence in national infrastructure, access, and tariff structure. Alongside the various open innovation initiatives, the Netherlands offers a unique infrastructure which needs to be kept up-to-date.
