History
NanoLund, founded in 1988, is the Center for Nanoscience at Lund University and a Strategic Research Area funded by the Swedish government. Encompassing 55 research groups in the faculties of engineering, science, and medicine, more than 130 PhD students and with an annual turnover of 19 M€, we are Sweden’s largest research environment for nanoscience and nanotechnology.
2019 Kick-off for our industry- and stakeholder network NanoTechNow
2019 There are now 16 active start-up companies that have
emerged from the NanoLund environment
2016 MAX IV is inaugurated and planning and fundraising begins for
a new nanofabrication facility, NanoLab Science Village. Several
