The EU supports financially the construction of two new technology centers in Wurzburg (Bavaria) [1] in the fields of nanotechnology and the analytical ultra-high definition. The funding comes from the European fund for regional development (ERDF) and is part of the “Regional competitiveness and employment in Bavaria 2007-2013.

The grants will help build a center for nanotechnology companies and a center application for analyzing ultra-high definition on the website of the University of Wurzburg. Research projects have been selected by the Minister of Science, Research and Art and the Minister of Economic Affairs, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Bavaria. Both centers are part of improving cooperation and transfer of knowledge between the University of Wurzburg and economic actors in northern Bavaria. The university is particularly interested in its outreach to SMEs who do not have the equipment or personnel necessary to innovate.

The Center for Innovative Nanotechnology aims to develop components for nanoscale sensors in the field of health or energy. The center should also strengthen research on organic semiconductors and inorganic.

New measurement devices will be operational in the future center for analyzing ultra-high resolution in favor of computing, automotive, nature, life sciences and medicine. A new mass spectrometer will specifically examine with great precision components with a layer of materials and their distribution.
