8. CEITEC Nano Research Infrastructure
CEITEC’s largest core facility
The CEITEC Nano provides state-of-the-art equipment needed for excellent basic and applied research in the field of nanotechnology.
Users mainly from academia.
Initial investment of approx. 30M€ (12M€ cleanrooms, 18M€ equipment),
Running costs 2M€ /year, reinvestments 2M€ /year
Czech Roadmap for Large Research Infrastructures = independent financing (75-90%)
This funding depends mainly on number of users and publication of the users.
Beyond the services to academic community, we can offer up to 20% of our capacity to industry. (Currently 8%)
