https://www.esonn.fr/ We are pleased to announce the 23rd edition of the European School On Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies which will be held from August 23 to September 5, 2026 in Grenoble, France. The school proposes a rich program composed of lectures, seminars and practical work given by leading experts in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Two full weeks of training are organized in Grenoble. Week 1: August 24 - August 29 · Lectures · Welcome Cocktail, Poster session, Presentation of participants, Industry Testimonials, Workshop, Touristic time, Seminars · Week 2: August 31 - September 5 Practical works · Farewell party ________________________________________ FEES: 2000€ with hotel accommodation in Grenoble, 1200€ without. 2 weeks in Grenoble for the whole programme. ________________________________________ PROGRAM: The program is designed in two parallel sessions to highlight the fundamental and technological advances in two fields of research: Session A: Quantum Science & Technology Session B: Nano Bio Sciences Both sessions will run in parallel and will shareinterdisciplinary common lectures. The practical work will take place partly at the Inter-university Centre for MicroElectronics (CIME) as well as in more than 20 different laboratories of our scientific partners (CEA, Institut Néel CNRS, IAB, IBS, ESRF...).
