European School On Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies (ESONN)

The European School on Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies (ESONN) is an international summer school co-organized by the CNRS, CEA, Grenoble Institute of Technology, and Grenoble-Alpes University. In 2019 an impressive 250 applications were submitted by PhD candidates and junior researchers from around the globe for just 50 available slots. Past participants have come from China, Pakistan, India, the Middle East, Spain, Italy, and Scandinavia.

The specialized courses are taught by physics, nanoscience, and biology experts. The curriculum is delivered entirely in English. One of the unique features of the program is that the theoretical classes are taught by outside faculty, while the lab classes are supervised by lab staff. The teaching resources available at CIME Nanotech are used for the lab classes. ESONN’s lab classes are unlike what most summer schools offer, and students from around the globe particularly appreciate the hands-on experience.

The main goal is to get students thinking about completing a research project in Grenoble. The program also promotes the interdisciplinary research collaborations that are possible locally.

ESONN 2021 will be held exceptionally on an hybrid format. The two main topics will be nanoelectronics and the interface between biology and chemistry.

From 23 August to 2 September, 2021 : ONLINE lectures and seminars;
From 6 September to 10 September, 2021 : Practical work IN GRENOBLE, France.
