We hereby joined the other European Micro and Nanotechnology facilities (eg. KIT, CRANN, ETH), which operate on the principle of an open and transparent access. The database is primarily used to establish collaboration, to present services to potential users, and serves as the basis for the mapping in the ESFRI research infrastructures in the EU. Last but not least it is a confirmation that a given research infrastructure meets European criteria. More on the database MERIL can be found HERE.
