The purpose of the NANOnetwork is to leverage the strengths of individual researchers by facilitating cooperation. This involves sharing tools, training and technical insights. Since the early 90s the University of Toronto has been a leader in the field, hosting major conferences and since 2001 providing the world’s first undergraduate degree program in nanoengineering. Useful additional links are found at the website of the student-run UT-Nanoclub.
