Colleagues,
The central objective of the upcoming meeting of the University
Microfabrication Facilities will be to enhance our cooperation
both inside the outside our Laboratories. This implies two major
goals: First the creation of a research collaboration infrastructure,
and second addressing our industrial and academic environment in a
common voice. This is the proposed agenda:
Research Interaction Infrastructure. (9am - 12 noon)
----------------------------------------------------
The objective is to discuss the current status and explore further
opportunities in strengthening our hands-on research collaboration.
More specifically, we see the need and the opportunity in enabling
research that requires access to more than one facilities. What
are the concrete steps we are taking now? What are the specific
opportunities that we should explore?
