Learn more about INESC MN by exploring our history, mission, and technology roadmap
INESC Microsistemas e Nanotecnologias (INESC MN) is a private, non-profit Research and Development Institute created in January 2002, from the former Solid State Technology group of INESC.
INESC MN is dedicated to leading edge R&D in strategic technological areas of micro- and nanotechnologies and the application of these technologies to electronic, biological and biomedical devices. INESC MN research work shares the Laboratories and Class 10/100 Cleanroom facilities with student training and external services.
The group’s mission is to provide advanced training to undergraduate and graduate students and researchers at Master, PhD and Post-Doctoral levels, acting as a bridge between the university and Industrial Partners worldwide. INESC MN offers Transfer of Technology to Portuguese and International Industries through Collaborative Research, Contract Research, Prototyping and Consulting.

In 2022, INESC MN included the list of 31 organizations recognized as a Technology and Innovation Center (CTI) by the Portuguese National Innovation agency (ANI), reinforcing our status as an innovation agent and intermediary between Academia and Industry.
As CTI, INESC MN had access to multi-annual financing (2023 – 2026) from the program Missão Interface (Notice nº 03/C05-i02/2022) in the amount of €2,582,550, which allows us to execute the strategic plan: gradual expansion of activities in micro and nanofabrication, including infrastructure, hiring and training of human resources and new areas of research and action. The objective is to expand the offer in the integration of nano and micro devices and advanced characterization within industrial sectors, national and international. In particular, the acquisition of new equipment for manufacturing micro and nanostructures on 200 mm silicon wafers will allow us to qualify new processes, consolidate services and reinforce the training of human resources specialized in microelectronics.
As an interface center, INESC MN reinforces the focus on the development of complex integrated microsystems, strongly supported by its central areas of research: (i) spintronics and magnetic sensors, (ii) microelectromechanical devices (MEMS), (iii) advanced interfaces and circuits for sensors, combined with (iv) microfluidic systems and involving new lines of research in the areas of organic and flexible electronics, nanophotonics and advanced semiconductor materials. In the context of CTI, it will be relevant to identify existing technologies at INESC MN with lower TRL and qualify new processes and solutions with higher TRL that respond to opportunities with greater impact for new clients (SME and Academia).
i4HB is a strategic partnership between 3 leading research units[RC1] :
Through world class R&D, i4HB will foster the development of integrated knowledge to support innovation in Public Policies at the leading edge of research and education with a major impact on Health and Bioeconomy sectors.
To meet this goal, i4HB is organized along 4 Thematic Lines (TLs) that address the challenges of strategic research fields and effectively support the implementation of public policies. These TLs are supported by synergic activities in Biomolecular Science, Integrated Systems for Advanced Therapies, Medical and Environmental Devices, and in Biotech 4 Bioeconomy:
