Development of Otaniemi Micro- and Nanotechnology Infrastructure- phase II (DOMAN II)

The RI on micro- and nanotechnologies is located at the Otaniemi campus in Espoo, and operated by Aalto University and VTT. The unified research infrastructure enables a consolidated and concerted effort in nanoscience and technology, and in quantum engineering.

The RI offers complete fabrication lines for micro- and nanostructures and it serves as a first-rate educational centre for young researchers, and acts as a node for scientific collaboration. DOMAN II represents the second stage of the essential improvements of the long range investment plan of this national RI.

Currently four Centres of Excellence (CoE) are based on, or active at these infrastructures; the total investment so far exceeds 120M, with over 360 researchers using the facilities; an average of 20 PhD's are produced each year; over 30 companies closely collaborate in the RI and 14 start-up companies were established during the past ten years.
