NFFA-Europe: enhancing European competitiveness in nanoscience research and innovation — •Dimitrios Kazazis — Paul Scherrer Institut, 5232 Villigen, Switzerland

NFFA-Europe is a European open-access resource for experimental and theoretical nanoscience. It brings together advanced infrastructures throughout Europe, specialized on growth, nanolithography, nanocharacterization, theory, simulation and fine-analysis with Synchrotron, FEL and Neutron radiation sources to create a multi-site research platform that enables European and international researchers to carry out advanced project proposals impacting science and innovation. NFFA-Europe coordinates access to infrastructures on different aspects of nanoscience research that are not currently available at single specialized sites. Technique and tool selection, proposal construction and submission are all done through a single and intuitive web portal. The access to the combined infrastructures through NFFA-Europe is centrally coordinated and free of charge for all technologically feasible and internationally peer-reviewed and approved user projects. Not only do the approved projects have access to the combined infrastructures, but they also benefit from the competences and the technical support of the NFFA sites as well as a contribution towards travel and subsistence costs. NFFA-Europe's internal joint research activities address key bottlenecks of nanoscience and nanotechnology i.e. nonostracture traceability, protocol reproducibility, in-operando nanomanipulation and analysis, open data etc. (www.nffa.edu)
