Nano-Science Center is a cross faculty initiative between the Faculty of Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Health - two faculties that total 10.000 students and around 2850 full-time employees. In September 2001 the Center was inaugurated as a joint venture between the Niels Bohr Institute and the Department of Chemistry at the University of Copenhagen. The Center has continuously developed its area of research, and today we are working closely together with the Institute of Molecular Biology and the Department of Pharmacology at the Faculty of Health. The Center was the first in Denmark to introduce a full Bachelor- and Master's Education in Nanotechnology. Today the center has more than 200 students of Nanotechnology who are primarily educated to obtain jobs in private companies. It is the young researchers who are to bring our knowledge out of the laboratories and into private companies. In total 100 scientists, Post docs and PhD students are working at the Center. Nano-Science Center has since the inauguration in 2001 received above 40 million € overall in external funding pledges from both private and public funding - among others from the EU's Framework Programs, the Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation and Maersk Oil and Gas A/S. In 2007 Nano-Science Center was chosen to coordinate a 7th Framework Program, named SINGLE. Read the press release. Research at the Nano-Science Center is organized in seven different research groups: Center for Molecular Movies
BioNano and NanoMedicine
NanoGeoScience
NanoPhysics
Nanoscale Quantum Electronics
NanoChemistry
Theory for Nanosystems
