Welcome to the Kavli Institute at Cornell's home on the web. The central scientific focus of the Kavli Institute at Cornell is to:
- Address the major challenges and opportunities for science at the atomic and molecular scale
- Bring together the world's seminal thinkers
- Foster a collaborative multidisciplinary research community at Cornell
- Define the path for progress in creating significant new science
The Kavli Institute at Cornell has fostered cross-disciplinary and cross-institution collaborations, providing valuable intellectual activity to the Cornell campus and to scientists around the globe. The Kavli Institute has partnered with each of the nanoscale science centers at Cornell as well as departments and faculty that have significant nanoscience activity. See recent events for reports on Kavli symposia, workshops, and lectures.
The Kavli Institute at Cornell was founded in 2004, through a gift by Fred Kavli and the Kavli Foundation. The Kavli Foundation advances science for the benefit of humanity and promotes increased public understanding and support for scientists and their work.
