Why Join us?
The SINANO Institute offers attractive items:

- Propose joint European projects
- Organize workshops and Summer Schools
- Develop collaboration with European Industries
- Strenghten the European Structuring in Nanoelectronics
It can also allow you to:
- Write Roadmaps and Positions papers
- Use open Research Infrastructures
The SiNANO Institute is the European contact point for IRDS (which replaces ITRS): it opens new possibilities for the Members to be active in the International scenario: we will organize the IRDS European meeting next year.
How to join us: Practical information
To join the SiNANO Institute, European Academic and Scientific Association for Nanoelectronics:
1. You have to aplly by filling up this Sinano_application_form (pages 2&3) with your group information and send it by e-mail to contact@sinano.eu
2. An extraordinary session of the Sinano Institute General Assembly is then organized to examinate the possibility to accept it
3. Once you are officially a member, your institution will be asked to pay a one-time entry membership fee (3000 €) and an annual fee (1000 €).
The discussion of the GA will be based on the 3 main following criteria:
1. the group of the candidate must feature more than three permanent Professors and/or Researchers (with PhDs), with international recognition (highly important with regards to efficient, continued, high-level representation and contribution to the SiNANO Institute),
2. the candidate institution must bring competences with complementary, demonstrated additional added value when compared to those already present in the Institute (we took this into account when selecting the first set of Members to get a good balance and coverage of expertise),
3. a good balance of countries must be maintained, i.e. not too much groups from a single country, unless real added value is afforded ; small groups of big countries/regions should try to seek representation through big groups of their countries/regions, i.e. constitute a consortium (again we applied this criterion to the initial Members at the beginning of the SiNANO Institute).
