● University of Copenhagen - Nano-Science Centre
● Technical University of Denmark - Nano●DTU
● Risø National Laboratory

Øresund Science Region

Scientific measures

In comparison with other Nordic regions, Øresund is the leading region within nanotechnological research. This is clearly noted in the Nano Øresund report - Øresund - the Nordic Nanohub (June 2006). In the report, output of research has been studied, i.e. publication of research results. In this area, Øresund is at the top with the highest number of scientific reports (see figure 1). Even in terms of the impact of research, Øresund is at the top; the number of citations per article is largest in Øresund.
