Basic research centres

The Danish National Research Foundation supports curiosity-driven frontline research of the highest quality in Denmark. A centre grant is large and flexible, and the basic research centres provide a unique framework for excellent research. Centres can be established within and across all areas of research.

DTU has six basic research centres:

• Center for Nanostructured Graphene (CNG)
• Center for Silicon Photonics for Optical Communications (SPOC)
• Center for Intelligent Drug Delivery and Sensing Using Microcontainers and Nanomechanics (IDUN)
• Center for Hyperpolarization in Magnetic Resonance (HYPERMAG)
• Center for Macroscopic Quantum States (BigQ)
• Center for Microbial Secondary Metabolites (CeMiSt)
