The Karlsruhe Nano Micro Facility for Information-driven Material Structuring and Characterization (KNMFi) offers access to a uniquely complete set of fabrication, characterization and information technologies. External users from academia and industry, either national or international, can apply for open and – if the results are published – free access. Annual deadlines for the submission of proposals are January 15 and June 15. Applications for urgent and commercial projects can be submitted at any time (proposal submission). The highly qualified KNMFi staff will guide users through the relevant processes and techniques to address their processing goals and characterization needs. KNMFi encourages the early discussion of planned projects and scientific goals and is open for long-term collaborations.
