NFFA-Europe is a European open-access resource for experimental & theoretical
nanoscience that carries out comprehensive projects for multidisciplinary research at the
nanoscale ranging from synthesis to nanocharacterization, to theory and numerical
simulation. Advanced infrastructures specialized on growth, nano-lithography, nanocharacterization,
theory and simulation and fine-analysis with Synchrotron, FEL and Neutron
radiation sources are integrated into a multi-site combination to develop frontier research on
methods for reproducible nanoscience research thus enabling European and international
researchers from diverse disciplines to carry out advanced proposals impacting on science
and innovation. NFFA-Europe coordinates access to infrastructures on different aspects of
nanoscience research that are not currently available at single specialized sites without
duplicating specific scopes. Internationally peer-reviewed approved user projects have
access to the best suited instruments, competences and technical support for performing
research, including access to analytical large scale facilities, theory and simulation and highperformance
computing facilities. Access is offered free of charge to European users. Two
researchers per user group are entitled to receive partial financial contribution towards the
travel and subsistence costs incurred. The user access scheme includes at least two
“installations” and is coordinated via a single entry point portal that activates an advanced
user-infrastructure dialogue to build up a personalized access programme with an increasing
return on science and innovation production. NFFA-Europe’s own research activity
addresses key bottlenecks of nanoscience research: i.e. nanostructure traceability, protocol
reproducibility, in-operando nano-manipulation and analysis, open data. (www.nffa.eu)
