Welcome to the Center for NanoScience

The Nano Innovation Award is presented annually by the Center for NanoScience (CeNS) in collaboration with its spin-offs attocube systems, ibidi, Nanion Technologies, and NanoTemper Technologies. The award recognizes outstanding young researchers at Bavarian research institutions for excellence in nanoscience.

PhD students in nanoscience or nano(bio)technology are invited to apply. The submitted research projects should demonstrate innovative potential and possible applications.

Application deadline: June 10.

CeNS offers a comprehensive educational program to PhD and Diploma students. Workshops, seminars, colloquia and lecture series are organized on a regular basis throughout the whole year. The topics presented by internationally renowned speakers cover the broad spectrum of nanosciences and nanobiosciences. International exchange programs and soft-skills workshops complete the interdisciplinary program. The students are incited to suggest workshop topics and organize scientific events on their own and are strongly encouraged to invite interesting speakers to seminars and workshops. 

In addition to the numerous research collaborations of individual CeNS members with scientists from all around the world, CeNS has established a growing number of cooperations with international nanoscience institutes. Exchange of doctoral researchers (e.g. Junior Nanotech Network) and Master's students as well as joint workshops (e.g. Workshop on Global Challenges - Opportunities for Nanotechnology) are the means by which these cooperations are realized.
