Mission

The MCN’s mission objectives are to:

  • Support and drive interdisciplinary basic research and early stage commercialisation;
  • Actively combine a range of fabrication disciplines and enhance collaboration;
  • Fill gaps in Australian nano-micro-fabrication capability;
  • Add value to and integrate effectively with other national centres;
  • Strategically span the research-to-prototype value chain;
  • Avoid duplication through a strong specialist node structure; and
