Let’s work together to make the next big step in the extremely small
Creating innovation and impact requires strong collaboration between all relevant stakeholders: business and industry, government and knowledge institutes. At MESA+, we cherish our long-standing partners and actively look for meaningful new collaborations. The MESA+ Institute supports and builds on established and promising partnerships through various activities, in order to achieve the best results.
- Matching experts: we will put you in touch with the right contact person and/or researcher at the MESA+ Institute.
- Business development: we help you to create impact with the results of research by bringing them to the market.
- Funding acquisition: we provide strategic advice, possible funding opportunities, planning and funding proposal development.
MESA+ Partnership
Considering a partnership with MESA+? There are many ways to work together. See below for some striking examples of running collaborations. Our expertise can help you to realize devices, solve a variety of problems, analyze materials and more.
Examples of partnerships
Infrastructure
Micronit: One of many high-tech business partners
Micronit is a specialist in microfluidics for life sciences applications. This MESA+-spinoff is just one of many examples of high-tech businesses making use of the facilities of the institute. Micronit uses equipment in the MESA+ Nanolab for non-daily tasks, such as working with silicon or specialised material analysis.
Contract-based research
World leader in printing
‘It's partly thanks to the Twente knowledge on fluidics that Océ is world leader in printing’, stated the director of NWO-technology foundation STW in the FD (daily financial newspaper) in 2015. He was referring to the close collaboration between the University of Twente and Océ, a partnership that already spans more than fifteen years. For instance, physicists of the department of Physics of Fluids (MESA+), working together with Océ-Technologies, developed a method for measuring detailed speed data in flying inkjet droplets.
Participation in research projects
GLAM - Glass-Laser Multiplexed Biosensor
In the EU funded project GLAM, MESA+ researchers team up with international companies and knowledge institutions to develop a novel label-free, ultra-sensitive photonic detection system, which will allow medical doctors to monitor key biomarkers in the clinical setting.
Policy & Network
NanoLabNL
NanoLabNL is the Dutch national infrastructure network for nanotechnological research, offering open access facilities for scientists and businesses. The University of Twente/MESA+ chairs the NanoLabNL initiative, combining 5 locations in the Netherlands: Twente, Delft, Eindhoven, Groningen and Amsterdam. The network supports scientists at their research and supports businesses at improving or renewing their products/production process and/or developing new products.
