Our Strategic Strengths

Integrated Nanostructured Systems (INS)

Enabling collaborations in nanoscience and nanotechnology, areas where innovation can revolutionize our world.

Through collaborative grants, workshops, and academic conferences, we are fostering a research environment that has already yielded groundbreaking research in the field of integrated nanostructured systems, involving structures 10,000-times smaller than the width of a human hair.
