Nanorennes was created in 2007 as a regional micro-technological platform, labelled by french national center of research and science (CNRS). This platform gathers on the same institute the know-how and human beings dedicated to the fabrication of nano-micrometer sized devices, related to two research laboratories located in Rennes : IETR-GM (microelectronic group) and FOTON-OHM (photonic group).
In addition to the CNRS national french network constituted of 6 technological platforms (RTB), Nanorennes belongs to a sub-network, constituted of 9 regional CNRS technological platforms.
In this context, Nanorennes (regional platform) and IEMN (RTB platform) are referenced as technological centers within the C’nano grand nord ouest . Its missions consist in affording a support in nano-micro fabrication, for regional (even national) academic laboratories and industrials. Nanorennes can thus support any kind of service requests, regarding its own area of expertise and competences.
