About NanoLund

NanoLund, the centre for research, education and innovation in nanoscience at Lund University, engages over 400 researchers, students and staff at the faculties of engineering, science and medicine. It is a strategic research area funded by the Swedish Government and Sweden’s largest research environment for nanoscience and nanotechnology. Our ambition is to be a Great Place to do Nanoscience: an international, highly visible centre offering exceptional scientific opportunities, training, and career development. We do this with a culture of openness and by offering access to a range of state-of-the-art capabilities within characterization, nanofabrication and modelling. We contribute to societal and sustainability challenges, for instance in health and clean energy, using the tools of nanoscience and nanotechnology. NanoLund, formerly known as the Nanometer Structure Consortium, founded in 1988, supports and coordinates activities within nanoscience and nanotechnology at Lund University. Our overarching goal is to use nanostructures to address important needs of society, such as solving the energy challenge and improving the quality of life. More specifically, our scientific focus is the materials science, the safety and the fundamental physics and chemistry of highly controlled, functional nanostructures, as well as their applications in fundamental science, energy conversion, electronics and the life sciences. This includes the continuous development of advanced tools for the fabrication, characterization and theory of nanostructures, with a current focus on semiconductor nanowires. Key resources are Lund Nano Lab, an open nanofabrication facility run by NanoLund, as well as a wide range of advanced characterization instruments organized in Lund Nano Characterization Labs. We are strongly engaged in nanoscience education from the undergraduate through the postdoctoral levels, and in entrepreneurship and innovation.
