Academic framework

Created for impact

Our researchers, excelling in their diverse disciplines, share a collective vision: to make a profound impact on the world’s toughest challenges.

To achieve our bold ambitions, we know we need the right support, in the right places, at the right time. We need ways of identifying opportunities to increase investment and when to scale back or adapt. 

Underpinning all our Sydney Nano programs are five Strategic Pillars designed to provide the comprehensive support required to deliver impact. 

Foster and create opportunities for research to meet its potential for delivering excellence through multidisciplinary problem solving.

Equip, mentor, and encourage researchers to dive into multidisciplinary approaches and celebrate their success.

Support researchers on the translation of their research while nurturing the creation of new ventures.

Create a culture that builds new and enduring partnerships to realise shared goals and objectives.

Invest, optimise and showcase our world class research facilities that enables both fundamental discovery and translation of research outcomes.

Our story

Sydney Nano, formerly known as the The Australian Institute for Nanoscale Science and Technology (AINST), was founded in 2015 with construction of the Sydney Nanoscience Hub beginning in 2014.
