Junior Nanotech Network (JNN)
A Self-Organized PhD Students Exchange Program
JNN 2022 with the University of Cambridge
"Single Molecule Sensors and Nanosystems - a self-organized student network"
Part 1: March 22-30, 2022 – Munich
Part 2: September 2022 – Cambridge
Scope of the Program:
The aim of the Junior Nanotech Network (JNN) is to exchange knowledge of world class nanobioscience between graduate students from different institutions worldwide. The JNN project takes advantage of local expertise and facilities and aims at initiating scientific and personal exchange between junior nano-researchers in Germany and partner institutions abroad, linking the research efforts in the field of nanoscience of the two universities and fostering the interaction between the partnering countries. The participants for each exchange are preselected based on excellence and compatibility of the proposed projects.In addition to the scientific program, the JNN offers to the participants plenty of time for discussions with the research partners and a sound cultural immersion into the local (scientific) community of the hosting country.
