The BelSU Common Use Centre for Diagnostics of Nanomaterials’ Structure and
Properties was founded in 2007 as a part of the Nanostructured Materials and
Nanotechnologies Science, Education & Innovation Centre. Since 2009, it
functions as a substantive subdivision of the Belgorod State University.
Main lines of activity
The Centre provides its equipment for supporting research conducted by
enterprises which carry out projects under federal target programs, and also to
other organizations which use scientific equipment, allowing to employ modern
methods of material physics.
The Centre also provides its equipment for training staff for working with
state-of-art scientific equipment,
The Centre organizes and hosts research-and-technology conferences.
