Do you wish to develop your knowledge in Micro and Nano-fabrication tools or Nanotechnology, while traveling the world, discovering french “art de vivre”, and meeting new people from different cultural backgrounds?

In the south of France, you will study within a high-ranking French engineering institute, INSA Toulouse, and have the chance to fabricate your own device in clean room and research facilities.

Micro and Nano technologies are nowadays “Key Enabling Technologies” for innovating applied science and fundamental research in numerous experimental fields.

Get micro-nano fabrication skills thanks to MINATO, with a unique hands-on interdisciplinary teaching method approach mainly based on Lab Work (> 50% of time) in a clean room.

Registrations are now open until APRIL 11, 2025.

How can you create a poster that does not only attract attention, but will help you get connected and even get feedback on your research? This is the course for you! This workshop teaches the principles of science communication in order to tell an engaging and memorable story about your research. From this story, you will create an attractive design that helps your audience understand your main message in a few seconds. This workshop is organized in collaboration with DLN, and will take place at Kringler Gjestegård outside of Oslo on 17-19 March 2025. The workshop is all-inclusive. This means that the research schools will take care of hotel bookings, and travel costs will be reimbursed upon submission of a travel claim.

Eventually, many academics face this possibility: leaving, quitting academia. Often, it is a decision fraught with much emotion, perceived as a threat to our identity, to our sense of self and pride. The uncertainty of our prospects in the outside world also fuels fears and doubt. In this talk we introduce some helpful strategies in transitioning away from academia and dispel some common misconceptions and biases. We also discuss practical tips and tools to face the culture change and ease the most common frictions academics face when transitioning to a role in the private sector.

Positions, projects, opportunities, candidates, equipment, readings, collaborations... so many choices! We live now in a world of (apparently) infinite possibilities, and decision paralysis has only gotten worse. In this webinar we will discuss how to identify decision paralysis (often disguised under procrastinating behaviours), understand its causes and provide some insight on how to break from its stronghold.

Particle Engineering Centre invites you to join its 4th Annual Meeting “Particle Engineering Days 2024” to be held on December 9th and 10th at NTNU, Gløshaugen. This annual meeting is free and open to all, and will highlight ongoing research activities within Nanomedicine, Hydrometallurgy & Battery Recycling, Environmental Applications and macromolecules and colloids. This two-day event will feature invited talks, panel discussions, image contest and poster sessions from national and international experts spanning across academia and industry. More details about the rules and submission process will be provided via email to those who express interest in participation in the registration form. Program: Day 1 (9th December): Talks will focus on Hydrometallurgy, Battery Recycling and Environmental Applications. A panel discussion on building high quality infrastructure for research excellence would also be organized. Several experts from industry and academia will join us during the day including confirmed participation from SINTEF, NTNU, Vianode among others. Day 2 (10th December): The theme will cater to Nanomedicine, Macromolecules and Colloids, complemented by a panel discussion on transforming research and innovation into tangible outcomes. Both days will also include talks and poster sessions with contributions from PEC members as well as experts from industry and academia including Lybe scientific, SINTEF and NTNU. Funding Support: TNNN members outside of Trondheim can apply for a travel grant. Email maria.sletvold@ntnu.no For further details, reach out to haroon.zafar@ntnu.no.

Conflict is a part of any relationship. And is more frequent when, like in academia, stress is high and resources scarce. How we navigate conflict is what matters most. In this webinar we explore how to recognise key triggers for conflict in academic and supervisory relationships. We will learn to recognise our working style and our working needs (and those of our colleagues or students). Also, we will develop practical tools to approach important discussions and navigate potential clashes, learning to uncover the real issues underpinning the conflict and the role that context plays. The webinars are provided by Dickerson et al.

On October 28th, 2024, Arctic Optica will host two of the 2022 Optica Ambassadors. Optica Ambassadors, selected by Optica each year, serve as global representatives of the organization, advancing the field of optics and photonics. As early-career professionals, they are dedicated to science outreach, education, and leadership within their communities. Their mission includes mentoring students, organizing local events, and raising awareness about the importance of optics and photonics in shaping society. They also focus on inspiring the next generation of scientists, with an emphasis on diversity and inclusion in the field. Available physically in Tromsø and online.

Join us for TNNN 2024 in Oslo June 6-8. This year's conference will build on the previous meetings in Vestfold and Trondheim and will offer an exciting synergy with industry in collaboration with Sensor Decade. Deadline to register is 2 April 2024.
