Innovation-EL is a National Infrastructure that aims in supporting high-quality research activities in the areas of Nanotechnology, Advanced Materials and Micro-Nanoelectronics
Innovation-EL comprises of leading Research Institutions and Universities in Greece. It aims at the promotion of scientific excellence and the development of high-added value products providing an open-access large scale distributed research infrastructure of cutting edge facilities to players of the academic, industrial and public sector. The available techniques, equipments and services can be categorized in four main categories, i.e. Theory & Simulation, Synthesis & Growth, Characterization and Micro-Nanofabrication.
Project “National Research Infrastructure on nanotechnology, advanced materials and micro/nanoelectronics “(MIS 5002772) is implemented under the “Action for the Strategic Development on the Research and Technological Sector”, funded by the Operational Programme "Competitiveness, Entrepreneurship and Innovation" (NSRF 2014-2020) and co-financed by Greece and the European Union (European Regional Development Fund).
BioImaging-GR is a distributed research infrastructure for open-access, high-end biological imaging providing a range of imaging methods to scientists in Greece and neighboring countries.
BioImaging-GR is a distributed RI, with a central coordinating Hub, serving as a single point of entry to the national infrastructure, and distributed partner Nodes that provide access to high-end Bioimaging instrumentation and services in a coordinated and harmonized manner, by pursuing the following 3 main objectives:
- Expand existing and establish new BioImaging facilities,
- Provide training and imaging services to the research community and industrial users
- Enhance the research and innovation potential of the Greek biomedical research community
