[labnetwork] Benchmarking Survey

[Anson, Susan (STN)]

Dear Rosie,
Thanks for putting me on cc.  As you know here at Karlsruhe we have made a start on a benchmarking study on nanofabrication facilities (also with you). We are mainly interested in the operational model of the infrastructure (free access via peer review vs paid access), the output both in terms of the classical performance indicators (publications etc.) as well as the relation between technologies, application areas , and the in-house research of the host infrastructures.  We see this as a way of measuring the impact in terms of innovative relevance – a hot topic here in Europe.
This is the link to our home nfrastructure Karlsruhe Nano Micro Facility (KNMF)  http://www.knmf.kit.edu/  , and the European Network I coordinated – at the moment we are preparing a proposal for a follow on,   www.euminafab.eu<http://www.euminafab.eu/> .

A global approach to the benchmarking would be really good, I would be very interested to discuss further with you  and Thomas,

Best regards,
Susan

Dear Thomas,

Great idea. We need to ensure we're comparing apples with apples, but I also think that we should start with the top ~10 questions.

I'd like to see something on the outputs from the facilities, for example, publications.

best wishes,
Rosie
