ARCNL is a public-private partnership established by the Dutch Research Council (NWO), the University of Amsterdam (UvA), University of Groningen (RUG) and semiconductor equipment manufacturer ASML. The institute is located at Amsterdam Science Park.
ARCNL combines the best of two worlds. As a research institute ARCNL plays its role in the academic community. Thus, ARCNL publications are peer-reviewed and group leaders teach classes at universities and contribute to conferences. At the same time, the research questions are primarily driven by the application of industrial partner ASML, who also benefits from the resulting stream of technological ideas. By being in this unique position, ARCNL is able to contribute to the production of ever smarter and smaller electronics.
