Prof. Hasan Mandal, Rector of Istanbul Technical University, visited SUNUM to discuss potential collaborations between SUNUM, Sabancı University, and Istanbul Technical University within the scope of the TeamNANO Project. The meeting, hosted by SUNUM Director Prof. Alpagut Kara, was attended by Sabancı University Rector Prof. Yusuf Leblebici and the SUNUM team.
The “Teaming For Capacity Development And Synergies In Micro-Nanofabrication And Flexible Electronics For Widespread Impact TeamNANO” project, coordinated by Sabancı University Nanotechnology Research and Application Center (SUNUM), is the highest budget project awarded to a single institution by the European Commission in the history of our country. TeamNANO, in which Delft Technical University from the Netherlands and Southampton University from the United Kingdom are partners, is being carried out with the support of TÜBİTAK and co-financed by the Ministry of Industry and Technology of the Republic of Turkey with an EU budget of 9 million Euros within the scope of the HORIZON-WIDERA-2023-ACCESS-01 (Teaming for Excellence) call.
TeamNANO, whose launch meeting will be held on January 30, 2025, aims to develop the devices and technological capabilities in SUNUM's clean room infrastructure through international cooperation. In this context, TeamNANO aims to increase the international competitiveness of our country in the field of science and technology and to play a pioneering role in new generation flexible electronic systems and micro-nanofabrication processes.
