The Center for NanoScience (CeNS) was founded in 1998 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) in Munich. Its aim is to promote, bundle and join interdisciplinary research in the field of nanoscience in the Munich area. CeNS is an association of working groups from basic research and industry and acts as a network which connects various institutions from a variety of disciplines. The members cooperate in a horizontal structure based on voluntary commitment, and are supported by a small coordination team.
CeNS consolidates research activities at the nanometer scale from physics, chemistry, biochemistry, and medicine. The CeNS network promotes the mutual understanding and the collaboration between these disciplines by joint seminars, workshops, and schools.

The Center for Embedded Network Sensing (CENS) is a research enterprise funded by the National Science Foundation based at the University of California, Los Angeles.
CENS was established at UCLA in 2002. The group conducts research primarily in the computer science subfield of embedded sensor networks. While the core research is grounded in computer science, the applications studied span a large range of fields including military applications, ecology, seismology, security monitoring, and farming applications to name just a few.
While it is headquartered at UCLA, the following universities and organizations also participate in CENS-led research:
- University of California, Merced
- University of California, Riverside
- University of Southern California
- The USC Information Sciences Institute
- California State University, Los Angeles
- The James Reserve
- NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory
- Caltech
