Description
The INL International Iberian Nanotechnology Laboratory, located in Braga (North of Portugal) was founded by the governments of Portugal and Spain under an international legal framework to perform interdisciplinary research, deploy and articulate nanotechnology for the benefit of society. INL aims to become the world-wide hub for nanotechnology, where scientists and engineers from all over the world work in a highly interdisciplinary environment and strive to address society’s grand challenges.
The Research and Technology activities are focused on six clusters: Clean Energy, Foodture, Precise Personalised Healthtech, Smart Digital NanoSystems, Sustainable Environment and Advanced Materials and Computing, which complement each other and provide a base for interdisciplinary interactions between our research. These clusters focus on identified societal challenges, in order to support an ecosystem of research, technology, and innovation, and to target interdisciplinary nanotechnology applications.
INL's mission aims at exploring interfaces and the full-fledged nanotechnology laboratory enables leading research of the highest international standard.
