MISSION & VISION
The Adolphe Merkle Institute is an interdisciplinary center of competence in soft nano- and materials science. The AMI strives to be a leader in fundamental and application oriented interdisciplinary research on soft-nanoscience. Our research stimulates innovation, fosters industrial competitiveness, and improves the quality of life.
The Adolphe Merkle Institute stands for:
Excellence:Become an internationally leading research centre by providing competitive employment conditions for outstanding scientists and students. |
Interdisciplinarity:Create new knowledge and understanding at the overlap between chemistry, physics and biology with a focus on soft nanomaterials. |
Relevance:Lead basic and application-oriented research in fields of high relevance to create fundamental understanding and promote scientific and technological developments. |
Innovation:Develop technologies in collaborations with partners from academia and industry in the spirit of open innovation and for the benefit of all. |
We conduct strategically oriented and programmatically focussed scholarly research and develop new technologies. We study and apply nanobased and nano-structured materials. We focus on a soft nanotechnology approach that is based on bottom-up principles, self-assembly and fab-less nanostrategies.
