Summer school ELENAM : metrology at the nanoscale

Image

This international school is devoted to the measurement at the nanoscale. It covers a large number of physical and chemical quantities: dimensions, electric and magnetic field, capacitance, resistance, optical properties, etc., and a large panel of characterization techniques: near field microscopies, electronic microscopies, optical spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction, etc. A particular attention will also be given to mathematical, computational and numerical methods (molecular dynamics (MD), finite elements (FEM), density functional theory (DFT) simulations and artificial intelligence (AI). The specificities of the measurement process at such small scale will be emphasized and specific tools and methods exposed within a mix of lectures and experimental / numerical tutorials.

Programme 

The school will combine lectures, practical sessions, poster session, round tables and exhibition times to encourage exchanges between participants, speakers, partners and exhibitors.

PhD student information 

The Elenam summer school can be recognised as scientific training for PhD student.

Registration

Registration fees (excl. tax): 750€ max and 400 € min depending on status and affiliation (no registration fees for CNRS staff). The deadline for the registration is fixed to 30^th of April.

Please note that Villa Cynthia offers both single and shared rooms. We will allocate single rooms to the first applicants, unless you let us know (contact address: Elenam.SummerSchool@lne.fr) that you would like to share a room and with whom.

Beyond the capacity of the single rooms, shared rooms will be allocated and you will always have the opportunity to let us know with whom you would like to stay.
