Expertise upon completion
This summer school offers a unique opportunity to develop deep knowledge in surface patterning and colloidal assembly through a multidisciplinary program which aims to link engineering of building blocks with nanofabrication methods and advanced characterization techniques to the functional properties of nanostructured surfaces.
A certificate of participation will be awarded to students upon completion of the course.
