In 2024, the Volks- hochschule beider Basel (VHSBB) offered a series of talks and an excursion to the NI Lab in collaboration with the SNI. The course was well received by all participants and is to be re- peated in fall semester 2025. In 2024, the two groups gave the Baselland Nature Research Society (NGBL) a tour of the Nano Technology Center. Other visitor groups were also warmly wel- comed over the course of the year and, thanks to the team’s efforts, gained fascinating insights into the imaging and fabri- cation of micro and nanostructures. Since 2024, the two team leaders Gerard Gadea and Marcus Wyss have offered a lecture course on nanoimaging and nano- fabrication for bachelor’s and master’s students. Moreover, stu- dents of biology and the nanosciences have the opportunity to immerse themselves deeper in the topic of nanoimaging as part of a block course. In 2024, the NI Lab team restructured these courses and produced an extensive handbook. Another highlight of the year was the User Event, which was attended by over 40 participants. Organized by the NI Lab on an annual basis, this event provides current and potential users with insights into the lab’s wide-ranging analytical capabilities. SNI Annual Report 2024 57
