  Summer School on Nanoscience
  
  International Summer School programmes on Nanotechnology.
  
  - intensive and outstanding academic training designed to meet the needs of international master and starting PhD students willing to take an extra effort to familiarize themselves with these upcoming exciting technology platforms.
  
  Our organising teams have spent all efforts to bring together eminent tutors and professionals committed to share their experience for an up-to-date training. The number of places for each summer school is limited in order to guarantee small class size and individual attention.
  As participant you are also a guest at one of Europe’s oldest and top-ranked universities, which is located in the historic cosmopolitan town of Leuven. Therefore, each programme includes social activities, allowing students to take full advantage of their stay in Leuven and experience the inspiring environment created by knowledge, culture, and beautiful architecture.
  
  Finally, a special word of thanks to the Department of Biotechnology of TU Delft, for their willingness to co-organise the summer school Metabolomics and to share our passion for an excellent education in a European context
