NCCR, University of Basel

"Nanoscale Science" as a National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR) is a long-term interdisciplinary research effort focusing on nanoscale structures and aiming to provide new impact and ideas for the life sciences, for the sustainable use of resources, and for information and communication technologies.

Within the NCCR, the University of Basel has the role of a leading house, maintaining a network of universities, federal research institutes and industrial partners in which scientists from a wide variety of disciplines work closely together. The various research groups focus on the following six subject areas:

• Nanobiology
• Quantum Computing and Quantum Coherence
• Atomic and Molecular Nanosystems
• Molecular Electronics
• Functional Materials by Hierarchical Self-Assembly
• Nanoethics

Know-how and Technology Transfer

One of the major objectives of the NCCR Nanoscale Science is the transfer of scientific results to other research institutions and companies and the commercial use of our own scientific findings. The NCCR management supports and advises the scientists in all matters of patenting, licensing, co-operations with third parties, and the formation of spin-off companies. All these transfer activities are carried out in close contact with the know-how and technology transfer offices at the University of Basel and at institutions of the NCCR network.
