Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster

The University of Münster (WWU) is one of the biggest universities in Germany. Located in the western part of the country, currently more than 38000 students are studying at the WWU Münster. The research carried out at the WWU Münster is not only wide-ranging but also often interdisciplinary and international. On this basis, WWU expressly promotes top-level research in high-performance areas. One of the most focused on areas is the emerging and fast developing field of nanotechnology. The variety of different fields of research includes nanobiotechnology, nanobioanalytics, scanning probe techniques, nanomechanics, nanoelectronics and
nanomagnetism.

The expertise of Münster’s scientists is also documented by numerous national and international cooperations, which make the WWU an attractive environment for any researcher interested in nanotechnology. Among the many large scale national and international projects related to
nanotechnology are:

• Nano2Life Network, the first European Network of Excellence in nanobiotechnology
coordinated by Muenster and Grenoble
• The Frontiers EU-network for research and innovation on behalf of life sciences
related nanotechnology and
• The Bioanalytik Münster Network with the purpose is to promote science, research
and education in the field of bioanalytics

Additionally, the Center for Nanotechnology (CenTech), which has been founded as one of the first nanotechlogogy-centers in Germany, provides ideal conditions for interdisciplinary research and transfer between research and industry. The university and the Centech are also organizing the annual NanoBio-Europe Conference which presents the most recent international developments in the field of nanobiotechnology.
