Attention: open in a new window. PDFPrintE-mail

The University of Cambridge is one of the oldest universities in the world and one of the largest in the United Kingdom. Its reputation for outstanding academic achievement is known world-wide and reflects the intellectual achievement of its students, as well as the world-class original research carried out by the staff of the University and the Colleges. The Department of Engineering - the largest department in Cambridge and one of the leading centres of engineering in the world - aims to address the world’s most pressing challenges in science and technology.

The Nanoscience Centre is an 1800m2 research facility completed in January 2003. It provides open access to over 300 researchers from a variety of University Departments. The current research portfolio in the Nanoscience Centre at Cambridge ranges from sensors for medical applications to understanding and controlling the properties of nanoscale structures and devices.

We are now looking for the next generation of NANOYOU pilot schools!

During the 2009-2010 academic year 25 pilot schools have been teaching NT in their classrooms with a wide range of materials, including videos, online animations, games, workshops, virtual dialogues, and virtual experiments based on current research. The second call for pilot schools is now open.
