Dedicated research platforms

MINATEC’s dedicated research platforms are crucial to building and maintaining synergies between the campus’ broad array of research activities. Each platform has a permanent staff whose role is to conduct research and support projects run by groups from outside MINATEC. Most notably, the platform teams train researchers on the equipment, offer advice and expertise, and even conduct experiments jointly with outside researchers.
