Answer language

Built on a source-backed database of 98 Dutch research facilities and 640+ documented capabilities in 15 cities — thin films, surfaces, microscopy, spectroscopy, micro- and nanofabrication, photonics and semiconductor-related research.

Leads, not bookings: a public source never means current availability, and no laboratory is contacted.

Worked example from the current dataset

Question
Measure a coating’s thickness, light transmission and infrared emissivity, starting near Enschede.
Suggested methods
X-ray reflectivity + Optical characterisation
Database result
Potential matches at University of Twente (Enschede), European Space Research and Technology Centre (Noordwijk) and University of Amsterdam (Amsterdam).

How it works

  1. Describe

    What you want to measure, understand or improve, in plain language. You do not need to know the method.

  2. Understand

    The methods that fit, what each gives and cannot show, and the one or two questions that matter.

  3. Find

    Laboratory leads in the Netherlands with their sources and evidence levels, in a free workspace. The laboratory confirms suitability and availability.
