The Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (INN) is one of the leading research institutes in Greece with cutting edge activities very much aligned with most of the Horizon Europe R&D&I priorities and Europe's Key Enabling Technologies (KETs), such as Advanced Materials, Nanotechnology, Micro&Nanoelectronics, Nanobiotechnology, and Photonics. The skilled human capital and creative capacity of the institute supported by a- unique in Greece- collective infrastructure provide a distinctive ecosystem for fostering and promoting world-class basic and applied research. Strong ties with the industry and numerous SMEs further assist the institute's effort to transform the knowledge generated into innovations and to transfer them to the market. One of the main characteristics of INN's newly-forged and distinctive character was its flexibility and willingness to turn one of its original impediments, aka the very large number of researchers (INN is by far the largest institute in the country, even larger than some entire Greek research centers), into one of its strongest assets: INN is today the most multidisciplinary research institute in the country and takes great pride in including cross-fertilization activities and horizontal synergies across its wide spectrum of disciplines in its day-to-day scientific activity.

The Electron Microscopy Laboratory of INN was established in 1987 with the acquisition of the first scanning electron microscope. The group focuses on the use of electron microscopy techniques in nanotechnology and materials science. In particular our research concerns the study of materials/nanostructures from the μm- down to the atom- scale, utilizing scanning and transmission electron microscopy, in order to investigate their key-nanoscale features and understand the correlation of these features to their macroscopic properties. This knowledge enables the optimization of growth/synthesis conditions as well as the design of new materials/nanostructures with improved and/or tailor-made properties.

The Lab's main activities are:

• the study of microstructure by electron microscopy techniques of various advanced materials and functional nanostructures in order to optimize their growth and tailor their properties

• the growth and study of nanomaterials with applications in optoelectronics and energy

• Provision of research services to industrial partners

• Provision of education and training to undergraduate and graduate students in electron microscopy
