Profil

Rapid progress in modern nanosciences is driven by the trans-disciplinary merger of strong technologies at the nanometer length scale. Life sciences, chemistry, physics and information technologies contribute and profit from the dynamic exchange of technologies and concepts. Boarders between the different disciplines vanish. The German Science Foundation DFG fosters this endeavor by a joint grant, the SFB 486, given to a dedicated group of scientists from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, the University Augsburg and the Max Planck Institute at Martinsried. Joint seminars and focussed workshops are organized to stimulate and sustain lively cooperations between students and scientists of the contributing groups. Shared supervision and interdisciplinary classes at the graduate and undergraduate level are promoted. Please consult the different panels for further details on programs, projects and partners.
