Nanoscale Science
The Swiss Nanoscience Institute (SNI) developed from the National Center of Competence in Research (NCCR)
“Nanoscale Science” and constitutes a priority program of the University of Basel. It combines basic
science with application-orientated research. In various projects researchers focus on nanoscale
structures and aim at providing new impact and ideas to the life sciences, to the sustainable use of
resources, and to information and communication technologies. The University of Basel as the leading
house coordinates the NCCR network of the involved universities, federal research institutes, industrial
partners and the Argovia-network, which is financed by the Swiss Canton of Aargau. With the establishment
of the SNI the University of Basel continues to secure the internationally acknowledged position as a
centre of excellence in nanoscale sciences.
