Center for NanoScience
The Center for NanoScience (CeNS) was founded in 1998 at the Ludwig-Maximilian-University (LMU) Munich. Its aim ist to promote, bundle and join interdisciplinary research in the field of nanoscience in the Munich area. CeNS is an association of working groups from basic research and industry and functions as a network, joining various institutions and encompassing a variety of disciplines. They cooperate in a horizontal network that lives from their voluntary commitment, supported by a small coordinating team.
CeNS consolidates research activities on the nanometer scale from the areas of physics, chemistry, biochemistry and medicine and promotes the mutual understanding between these disciplines by collaborative seminars, workshops and schools.
