Research
Laboratories and researchers working towards a professional practical application
The curriculum includes various 18-week training sessions formation in supporting laboratories in order for students to apply the theoretical knowledge they acquired. All 28 laboratories focus on different orientations and disciplines. Academics teaching in the Nanoscience specialisation consist of recognised researchers from those laboratories, involved establishments as well as the dedicated research laboratories (of the French Scientific Centre for Scientific Research (Centre national de la recherche scientifique – CNRS) and the French Atomic Energy Commission (Commissariat à l’énergie atomique – CEA).

Training sessions will take place not only within the above-mentioned laboratories, but also in other French and foreign laboratories (U.S.A., Canada, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Germany, Britain, etc. For the time being, there are already more than 140 training proposals for the future registered students.
A visit and a presentation of several laboratories will organised for all registered students in the specialisation and notably for candidate PhD students.
