CEITEC Nano at the UGIM Symposium in Boston, MIT.nano
This symposium has been held in the United States since 1975 and is hosted every two years by a major American university. It brings together representatives from universities, government, and commercial cleanroom laboratories who focus on micro/nanotechnology. This year, the event was hosted by one of the most prestigious universities in the world, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, which has one of the most modern and largest university cleanrooms. The MIT.nano with 100.000 sqft cleanroom is 5 times larger than ours at CEITEC Nano and is located right in the middle of the MIT campus in a modern glass-enclosed 6th-floor building, where they even have a cleanroom elevator to transport you between the clean labs.
Richard Kolar and Jiri Zita from CEITEC Nano attended this symposium and introduced our CEITEC Nano labs to the American cleanroom community. In addition, they had the opportunity to give presentations on our e-learning system and research data management.
