L E C T U R E S

The lectures are given in the Maison des Magistères, Polygone Scientifique, Grenoble.

Courses cover the fundamentals of selected fields that were chosen as being important aspects of Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies in Physics, Biology or Chemistry. The session A is oriented towards nanoelectronics as all fields (magnetism, optics, mechanics…) could not be covered in 7 days.

Each course, consisting of 3 lectures of 1h45 each, will be taught in english and, usually, by a single person .

P R A C T I C A L S

Half of the formation is devoted to praticals, which are held in clean-room facilities at the Inter-university Centre for MicroElectronics (CIME - Grenoble) and in laboratories.

Praticals in clean-rooms facilities are devoted to the use of the basic tools for micro-fabrication and characterization of micro-objects (micro-circuits, micro-systems).
The technologies which are more specific to the nano-fabrication (e-beam lithography, innovative soft lithographies…), are adressed through laboratories works.

Practicals in laboratories are proposed by researchers on their current research and are thus at the leading edge of the international research.

See the related session in website

S E M I N A R S

During the course, seminars and discussions will be also given by researchers.

PLACE :
Amphi Phelma-Minatec, 3, Parvis Louis Néel, Grenoble
From 7:00 pm
An apéritif will be served half an hour before.

Participants Presentation and Poster Session

The participants will be asked to present two slides introducing their background and research activity to the others and the ESONN Committee.

They will have also to bring a poster on their research activity. A poster session will be organized during the first days of the school.
The posters will be exhibited from the beginning to the end of ESONN in order to permit to the participants to exchange each other, with the lecturers and with the organizers, on their own field of research.
