WEEK 2 PROGRAMME
PRACTICALS in Grenoble.
From 1 September to 5 September, 2025.
Significant part of the formation is devoted to practicals, which are held in clean-room facilities at the Inter-university Centre for MicroElectronics (CIME - Grenoble) and in different research laboratories of the scientific Polygon in Grenoble.
Praticals in clean-rooms facilities are devoted to the use of the basic tools for micro-fabrication and characterization of micro-objects (micro-circuits, micro-systems...).
The technologies which are more specific are adressed through lab practicals proposed by scientists and engineers are on their ongoing research activities at the leading edge of scientific and technological developments.
See ESONN'2025 list of practicals HERE
SOCIAL PROGRAMME in Grenoble
-
Welcome official cocktail on Monday August 25, 2025.
-
Sightseeing time on Saturday August 30, 2025.
-
Farewell dinner in a restaurant on Friday 5 September, 2025.
University CREDITS (ECTS)
Administratively, ESONN is organised by Univ. Grenoble Alpes. However, we do not not deliver an official university diploma, which would require a student registration with the University.
Nevertheless, ESONN'2025 is a two-week school, with about 30h of lectures and 40h of practical works.
The participation at ESONN could be recognized as: 6 ECTS by the University where the PhD participant is registered.
A certificate of participation indicating the number of training hours is delivered at the end of the course to participants attended all lectures and selected practicals, so that these credits can be obtained.
