#HorizonEU #SwissParticipation

❄️Last week the winter school of the SNI PhD School took place in Adelboden. We had great days full of #nanoscience, inspiration, personal exchange and networking activities. 🧑‍🔬🌟🛷⛷️ Many thanks to all participants and speakers and congratulations to Marina who won the prize for the best poster!

Many thanks to Gerard Gadea who gave a guided tour through the #cleanroom facilities of the SNI's Nano Fabrication Lab in the new ETH D-BSSE building for PhilNat managing directors of the @unibas.ch. For those who had time, it was exciting to see and hear how #nanofabrication works.

📸✨ Der SNF-Wettbewerb für wissenschaftliche Bilder sucht Forschende, die mit Bildern oder Videos ihre Arbeit sichtbar machen! Zeig uns die Ästhetik der Wissenschaft.
