With its interdisciplinary cooperation networks, the Cluster Nanotechnology is a central point of contact for innovative ideas and projects relating to nanotechnology. This year's Network Day once again provided an ideal opportunity to establish professional contacts, discuss innovative project ideas, and find new cooperation partners.

A central focus of the cluster's work has always been the professional networking of stakeholders, as well as the initiation, support, and management of specific R&D projects in the field of nanotechnology. To this end, the Cluster Nanotechnology has successfully established and managed various cooperation networks on innovative topics over the past 13 years, bringing together hidden champions and key players from various industries and research areas.

To promote mutual exchange between these networks, the Cluster Nanotechnology once again invited its partners to Würzburg on July 2 and 3, 2025, for the third Network Day. Experts from research, government agencies, and industry followed the invitation and took the opportunity to discuss current topics and projects, as well as the latest developments and future collaborations. The exchange was characterized by a wide variety of topics, ranging from sustainable materials and modern analysis techniques to digitization, artificial intelligence, and advanced applications for nanomaterials. Various topics were addressed in short technical pitches and then explored in greater depth in an open discussion round. The mutual exchange of experiences provided a wide range of incentives and starting points for new projects.
