Dear colleagues,
The second call for proposals for accessing the facilities of the recently founded Italian Research Infrastructure NFFA-DI is currently open and will close on April 15, 2025.
NFFA-DI https://nffa-di.it/en/ is a Full-Spectrum Research Infrastructure for nanoscience and nanotechnology, diffused on the Italian territory. The rationale of NFFA-DI is to integrate nanofoundry laboratories, i.e. facilities for atomically controlled growth, structural characterization of nano-objects and nanostructured materials, with the experimental facilities for the fine analysis of matter using synchrotron radiation (at Elettra), including upscaling the most promising systems to the level of intermediate TRL developments.
NFFA-DI creates a unique environment for basic nanoscience and advanced technologies. The combined digital access to a wide portfolio of services through a Single-Entry Point and Catalogue https://nffa-di.it/en/our-offer/ allows the user to simultaneously apply for multiple experiments aimed at achieving a single well-defined research goal, therefore asking access to different state-of-the-art experimental and computational resources.
Applications from members of the Opera COST Actions are very welcome.
We suggest all interested colleagues to get accustomed with due advance to the techniques available in our Catalog https://nffa-di.it/en/our-offer/ and to the proposal submission guidelines https://nffa-di.it/en/get-access/guidelines-for-proposal-submission/
