Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems

In addition to its core research, LAAS actively promotes interdisciplinary collaboration through four strategic areas: Ambient Intelligence, Living Systems (including biology, environment, and medicine), Space, and Energy.

Over time, LAAS-CNRS shifted its focus to complex systems across various domains, evolving into a leading research center that helped shape new disciplines and elevate French science globally.

Its goal is to provide national research and industry with access to top-tier infrastructure for high-level R&D projects in micro and nanotechnologies.

The initiative aims to address societal challenges in energy, health, and the environment and seeks international recognition as an ESFRI project.

EuroNanoLab is inspired by the NNIN (National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network) in the US, which began in 2004, and follows a similar model of integrating research centers to provide collaborative access to nanofabrication resources.

With a strong emphasis on micro- and nanoscale innovations, its applications extend to biomedical engineering, sensor development, and advanced materials.
