About NEMO

In its 2nd call under Framework 6, the European Commission granted the Network of Excellence on Micro-Optics "NEMO" with 6.4 Million Euro.

NEMO is running since Sept. 1st 2004 and aims at providing Europe with a complete Micro-Optics food-chain by setting up durable service and technology centres for Optical Modelling and Design; Measurement and Instrumentation, Mastering, Prototyping and Replication; Hybrid Integration and Packaging; Reliability and Standardization. NEMO will be the networking platform for 30 European partners for the next 4 years. The network is co-ordinated by Prof. Hugo Thienpont from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Belgium, by Prof. Malgorzata Kujawinska from Warsaw University of Technology, Poland, and by Dr. Juergen Mohr from ForschungsZentrum Karlsruhe, Germany. Each of the 30 institutes involved in NEMO is a key-role player in micro-optics.
NEMO's main objective is to structure and integrate the expertise and core-competences of its partners while strengthening their R&D activities in the emerging field of micro-optics.
