CRANN has been invited to join the European Infrastructure on Micro and Nano Fabrication  -  (EUMINAfab).  The consortium is a FP7- funded gateway to a vast array of state-of-the-art multimaterial micro and nanotechnologies. The project has been running for 2 years, but they have expanded the partnership to include CRANN’s specialised Nanotechnology facilities.

A visual art exhibition of portraits that reflect the diversity of Italian identity in contemporary Ireland opened last week at Dublin’s Italian Institute of Culture. Inspired by the 150th anniversary of the Unity of Italy, the exhibition presents an insight into the broad range of Italian professionals who live and work in today’s Ireland, including CRANN's Deputy Director, Prof Stefano Sanvito.

CRANN announced today that it is bringing the STAGE International Script Competition to Ireland as part of Dublin City of Science 2012.

The STAGE International Script Competition is a unique collaboration between art and science that awards a prize of $10,000 for the best new play about science and technology. STAGE – Scientists, Technologists and Artists Generating Exploration – began as an alliance between the Professional Artists Lab, a dynamic artistic laboratory, and the California NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Through CRANN’s relationship with CNSI, Dublin has beaten off stiff international competition to bring STAGE to Ireland.
