NCCR National Competence Center on Nanosciences
Abstract: Nanoscale Science as a National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) is a long-term interdisciplinary research effort focusing on nanoscale structures and aiming to provide new impact and ideas for the life sciences, for the sustainable use of resources, and for information and communications technologies. Within the NCCR, the University of Basel has the role of a leading house, maintaining a network of university institutes, federal research institutes and industrial partners in which scientists from a wide variety of disciplines work closely together.
