MESA+ is one of the world’s largest
nanotechnology research institutes. A total of 525 researchers work together on
cutting-edge research at the highest level; including research in the fields of
materials science, lab-on-a-chip technology, nanophotonics, nanoelectronics and
nanofluidics. The aim for excellence is always the focal point with scientific
publications in leading international journals. On average, one article
published by a MESA+ scientist is referred to every single day.
Multidisciplinary collaboration between the various research directions of
MESA+ is stimulated by the unique structure of
Strategic Research Orientations
(SROs), in which a large number of researchers collaborate in a specific
research program. This method of interdisciplinary research leads to ground-breaking
results, it reinforces the cohesion between ongoing high-quality research and
it provides excellent opportunities for external partners.
MESA+ offers a state-of-the-art NanoLab with a floor area of 1250 square
meters. Users are offered a unique laboratory with a wide variety of
technologies and equipment to develop an almost unlimited number of
applications. Next to scientific researchers is the laboratory space and
equipment of the MESA+ NanoLab used for 40% by industrial partners.
