Join SNC

Elegibility

Besides serving internal Stanford University researchers, lab Membership at SNC is open to anyone from any academic, government, private or industrial organization for any type of research and development activity acceptable within Stanford University Academic Research Policies and Procedures. Commercial activities (ie production of devices for sale) are strictly prohibited; although broadly defined R&D, such as development of prototypes, are within the scope of acceptable activities. Complience with policies that govern Stanford's operations of the SNC service centers might result in limited access to the service centers.
