Platforms & Networks

KiNSIS pools essential infrastructures and competences in various
platforms and networks. These are available for scientists of Kiel
University as well as people from non-university institutions and
companies who want to put their projects into practice.
Centre for Materials Analytics
 |
The Centre for Materials Analytics (cma) provides scientific and commercial cooperation partners with scientific expertise and cutting-edge, high-performance devices for the characterization and testing of materials. It supports students and prospective engineers through internships, offers help with research projects and with finding a job. Research and development as well as technology transfer are the centre’s main task.

Kiel Nanolaboratory
 |
The Kiel Nanolaboratory with its cleanroom and research instruments (total value around 12 million Euros) at the Faculty of Engineering serves as a research platform for higher education, collaborative and industrial projects. Scientists use this infrastructure to investigate the basics for new materials und applications. Piezo- and thermoelectric layers, batteries, solar technology, chip laboratories and magnetoelectric sensors are but a few research areas of scientists in the nano lab.More |
Laboratory for Reliable Battery-Assisted Energy Conversion (BAEW)
Batteries play a key role in electric mobility and energy supply as central issues of our time. In order to develop innovative battery systems new storage materials as well as the appropriate power electronics are needed. The Laboratory for Reliable Battery-Assisted Energy Conversion (BAEW, Labor für zuverlässige batteriegestützte Energiewandlung) is working closely on this in the fields of materials science and power electronics.

North German Initiative Nano Technology (NINa e.V.)
 |
The North German Initiative Nano Technology (NINa e.V.) promotes nano technology in northern Germany and networks it with research facilities and companies in the Baltic area. Scientific and industrial working groups use this platform to exchange knowledge and experiences in a regular fashion. They establish contacts and develop new ideas relating to nano particles, materials and coatings.
