nanoGUNE Winter School 2020

From Wed, 02/12/2020 - 09:00 to Fri, 02/14/2020 - 18:00

Overview

The nanoGUNE Winter School 2020 will be held in the nanoGUNE facilities in San Sebastian (Spain), from Wednesday 12 to Friday 14 February 2020. The event is primarily aimed at undergraduate and master students of physics, chemistry, biology and engineering.

The School will include a combination of academic lectures, soft skills training sessions and hands-on lab practices.

Registration and Key Dates

The registration will open on 1 October 2019.

We will accept applicants until 30 October 2019. **EXTENDED DEADLINE: 15 NOVEMBER 2019**

The applications received will be then evaluated and the results will be communicated no later than 15 December to all applicants.

Target students

Fields: physics, chemistry, biology and engineering
Last or penultimate year undergraduate degree students
Master students

We are looking for highly motivated undergraduate or master students that are considering the possibility of pursuing their training with a PhD degree.

The maximum number of participants will be limited to 30 students.

Grants: what is included?

NanoGUNE will offer grants to cover all the main expenses of the winter school to all the selected students:

Grants to cover travel expenses
Lunch and coffee-breaks
Accommodation in shared rooms will be arranged
