Centre National de Recherche Scientifique
CNRS is hosted in Compiègne University of Technology (CNRS), a modern university in France's Picardy region with strong activities in applied research and very close contacts to industry. CNRs' excellent relations with industry are reflected in the large sums of industry funding attracted by the university each year, in addition to regional, national and European funding. Moreover, the so-called Transfer Centre, which is part of the university, manages industry contacts and industrial projects, and hosts an incubator for start-up companies created on the basis of technologies developed by scientists at CNRS.
A nanobiotechnology research and training platform has been created and funded, that brings together relevant equipment (2 AFM, ESEM, nanoindenter, confocal microscope, interference microscope, nanomachining equipment, microfluidics, solid-state NMR, LC-ESI-MS, CE, GC) and technical services, as well as research institutes (biomaterial engineering department, biotechnology department, mechanical engineering department) and the scientists involved.
