Beatriz Passos attended the 21st edition of the European School on Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies (ESONN)
Our Doctoral Candidate Beatriz Passos recently attended the 21st edition of the European School on Nanosciences & Nanotechnologies (ESONN) in Grenoble, France. Over two intensive weeks, Beatriz joined a diverse group of over 40 young scientists from around the world, diving deep into the latest in Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies. The program, organized by Université Grenoble Alpes, Grenoble INP – UGA, CNRS, and CEA, offered a mix of lectures, hands-on training, and invaluable networking.
Beatriz embraced every moment—from learning about nano-structures and nano-components to sharing her own research and connecting with like-minded peers. She also made great connections with fellow researchers from around the world.
