CENTRE FOR RESEARCH ON ADAPTIVE NANOSTRUCTURES AND NANODEVICES (CRANN)

Innovating nanoscience

CRANN is Ireland’s flagship nanoscience institute and is fast evolving into an internationally recognised centre of excellence with 150 researchers.

Opened in January 2008, CRANN is committed to delivering scientific excellence and partnering with industry to translate innovation into economic value for Ireland.

Such innovation will position CRANN as a world leader and further boost Ireland’s growing reputation in science and technology.

CRANN was made possible by key stakeholders, Science Foundation Ireland and the Higher Education Authority and a very generous gift by Dr Martin Naughton which helped put in place this state-ofthe-art facility which enables CRANN to attract leading companies and researchers.

SCIENCE GALLERY

A place where ideas meet and opinions collide

The Science Gallery, a unique educational and cultural venue, exists to transform the lives of young adults and open their minds to the inspiring possibilities of science and technology.

Science Gallery opened it doors in February 2008. To date over 180,000 visitors have enjoyed exhibitions and 6,000 people have signed up as members. The Science Gallery received the Irish Times Living Dublin Award for Tourism and Culture in December 2008.

With Dublin set to be the European City of Science in 2012, the Gallery will be working towards further developing Science Gallery as a central interface between research and the city, bringing science to the forefront of public discourse.
