NanoNed

NanoNed is the Nanotechnology Research and Development initiative of Dutch Government. It is financed Ministry of Economic Affairs (Netherlands)[1].Dutch Technology Foundation STW is responsible for the program management of NanoNed [2]. It is a consortium of seven universities, TNO and Philips. University of Leiden, University of Utrecht and FOM institute AMOLF in Amsterdam are also the partners of NanoNed [3]. Around 400 researchers are working within all these partners. On the basis of National Research and Development strength and industrial needs, 11 interdependent program has developed and named as "Flagship". Each of these flagships is led by a "Flagship Captain". In 2009, more than 400 researchers are working in different 200 projects.

NanoNed also established its first foreign office in Japan (NanoNed Japan Office), led by Prof. Wilfred Van Der Wiel [4].
