University of Copenhagen Nano-Science Center

The Nano-Science Center is a center at the University of Copenhagen dedicated to the teaching and research of nanotechnology.

The Nano-Science Center was inaugurated in 2001 in a cooperation between the Niels Bohr Institute (physics) and the Department of Chemistry. It resides in the D block of the interconnected Hans Christian Ørsted Building complex.

The current chairman is professor Bo Wegge Laursen.

A new undergraduate program (3 years ending with a B.Sc. in nanotechnology) admitted the first students in September 2002, currently admitting about 60 students per year. Graduates are expected to continue to get a M.Sc. within a subfield of nanotechnology.

In total, more than 150 scientists, postdocs and PhD students are associated with the Center. Nano-Science Center has since the inauguration received more than EUR 150m overall in external funding from both private and public funding.
