Nano-Science Center > Research

The vision of the Nano-Science Center is to create a strong cross-disciplinary environment that are capable of exploring and utilising the new phenomena and opportunities which nanotechnology will bring us in the future. 

Back in 2001 scientists from the areas of physics and chemistry moved into the same building in order to bring down the barriers between these research areas. At that time it was one of the first cross-disciplinary initiatives in the world.

By 2003 by a transfer of researchers from Faculty of Health to the Nano-Science Center, the Center was expanded with the fields of biology, biotechnology and medicine.

The Center is the hub of an in-depth cooperation between relevant research environments in Denmark such as the Technical University of Denmark, includning Risø-DTU as well as the new Faculties at the University of Copenhagen, the Faculty of Life Sciences and the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences. Nano-Science Center is also cordinator for an EU-project within the 7th Framework Programme, named SINGLE. Read the press release.

Combined with our close ties to the international research community and our cooperation with private companies, these features makes the Center a strong base for science of international excellence.
