 |  | Far beyond the region, UDE is renowned for its interdisciplinary focus on nano-research. Of national and international importance are especially the following areas: nanoparticle and nanomaterial synthesis, nano(opto)electronics and nano-magnetism. Work in this area is present in three Collaborative Research Centres, a graduate program, a priority program, numerous EU, BMBF, and other projects and embedded in industrial cooperation. Within the participating institutes and chairs, in addition to the extensive infrastructure, a broad, interdisciplinary expertise and specifically trained young scientists can be found, available to achieve internationally outstanding research results. The Chair of Aquatic Microbiology has a long-standing expertise in water microbiology and contaminant degradation. It features excellent analytical equipment related to contaminant degradation, mineralogical and NP analytics. For NanoRem, all state-of-the-art laboratories are provided, as well as facilities for large scale operations. In addition, an infrastructure with special respect to nanoscience and water research is available |
