Academic partnership in nanoscience

• C2N is partner of the Centre national de compétences en nanosciences « C’Nano », network launched by the French Ministry of Research, the CNRS and the CEA at the occasion of the national program "Nanosciences" that led to the rationalization of the emergence of proximity technology facility (small cleanrooms) alongside major facilities such as C2N.

• C2N is a member of a number of CNRS Research Groups (GDR) including the GDR MecaQ in the field of quantum optomechanics and nanomechanics, the GDR Pulse in semiconductor epitaxy, the GDR RAFALD on atomic layer deposition science or SOC2 GDR on System On Chip, Embedded Systems and Connected Objects.

• C2N is also a partner of the GIP CNFM, the Public Interest Group for the National Coordination of Training in Microelectronics and Nanotechnologies. It is a national structure originally created by the Ministry in charge of Higher Education and Research, and its mission is to coordinate training activities in the broad field of microelectronics and nanotechnologies. The GIP is made up of 12 French university institutions that host technology platforms, along with national industrial partners in the field, namely ACSIEL Alliance Electronique. As part of France 2030, it leads the AMI-CMA INFORISM project, which aims to expand the pool of skills and in which C2N is also a partner.

Institutional Partnerships with EPIC

Privileged partnerships with state-owned industrial and commercial establishment are formalized by collaboration agreements as with CEA Leti, CNES, Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, or LNE, Laboratoire National de Métrologie et d'essais.
The partnership can result in the creation of a joint laboratory where staff and means are shared.
