MecaNano Summer School 2026!

Our final summer school of the MecaNano Network will take place in Cargese, Corsica (France) from 6 – 12 September. The summer school is now available for pre-registration at the summer school website: https://mecanano-yris26.sciencesconf.org

The third summer school will be held at Institut d’Études Scientifiques (https://iesc.universita.corsica/?lang=en).

The target audience are PhDs at any level, early post-docs, and if space allows masters students that are already members of MecaNano. Space is limited.

Pre-registration will close on the 15. JUNE

If your application is accepted, you will be informed on/shortly after 30. JUNE.

The summer school aims to provide PhD students and postdocs with a comprehensive overview of the nanomechanical field, covering both fundamental principles and recent advancements, with a strong focus on practical applications to their research projects. In detail, it will cover:

  • Small-scale plasticity and fracture
  • Experimental micro- and nanomechanical testing
  • Simulation and machine learning methods
  • Analytical characterization techniques
  • Soft skills for scientists

Each topic will be introduced by a trainer in a 1.5-hour session including questions and discussion.

A poster session (any level of results should be presented) and an outdoor outing (hike) are also planned.

Don’t miss out on this great learning event!
