Information and Communications Technologies Programme Manager of the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), Lesley Thompson, will be talking about funding opportunities with EPSRC.
EPSRC is the main UK government agency for funding research and training in engineering and the physical sciences, investing around GBP 500 million a year.
It works in partnership with universities and in conjunction with other research investors to invest in people, scientific discovery and innovation.
"The EPSRC through its funding of Innos believes it has developed an innovative new approach to meet the needs of the academic research base for micro-fabrication facilities", says Thompson.
Innos, funded in part by ESPRC, has formed strong partnerships with various universities and institutions, including Southampton and Newcastle universities with whom they worked with to deliver a 220% performance gain in strained-Si-SiGe N-channel MOSFETs, announced in April.
Other projects completed in recent months include working alongside LETI, KTH and the universities of Paris Sud, Southampton, Surrey, Liverpool and Chalmers to develop a process that provides selective epitaxy - used for elevated sources and drains - through the combination of silane and dichlorosilane without a requirement for Cl2 or HCl in the gas stream.
"The open day will be interesting for companies wanting to work with universities for research and commercial development of IP, as a great way of meeting the top nanotechnology and micro research academics", says CEO of Innos, Andrew Monk.
"We want to showcase our own capabilities to potential users as bridging the gap between companies and research institutions, as well as encourage companies to invest in academic projects".
