User information

 

To use our facility/services you need to apply. For UiO or UiB facilities, you can apply under each technology. 

For new users of the NTNU facilities, please contact us for an initial discussion on how your project can best benefit from our services. After such an initial discussion we can provide estimates on the resources and time needed for the project and costs.

Due to limited staff resources, most users will have to run their own experiments after an initial period of training where the staff from Kavli Institute/CAC at NTNU will assist. Basic technical assistance and support will be provided by our staff as needed, but support and help with planning, setting up and running experiments have to be booked in agreement with the Kavli Institute/CAC.
