Integrated in the framework of the UAB Research Park, BNC-b is a scientific and industrially oriented virtual entity, grouping the capabilities and expertises in nanoscience and technology of a number of research centres owned by CSIC (Spanish National Council of Research), ICN (Catalan Institute of Nanotechnology) and UAB (Autonomous University of Barcelona), including D+T Microelectrónica A.I.E., MATGAS 2000 AIE and ICMAB. |
|
The UAB Research Park is a private not-for-profit foundation to promote and improve the transfer of knowledge and technology between the University, associated research institutes and business. |
 |
ALBA is a third generation Synchrotron Light Facility, constructed and operated by the CELLS consortium and is co-financed by the Catalan and Spanish governments. ALBA and the ICN are collaborating in the development of cutting-edge measurement and detection equipment to be installed on beam lines once the ALBA becomes operational. |
 |
ICREA, the Catalan Institution for Research and Advanced Studies, is a foundation supported by the Catalan Government, whose aim is to recruit top scientists for the Catalan R&D system. Seven of ICN’s Group Leaders hold ICREA Professorships. |
