Session on Graphene in Grenoble, France Print E-mail
CEA GIANT NSF NU

Hosted by the GIANT Innovation Campus in Grenoble, France, this Session created three teams of young researchers and challenge them to design a team project that leveraged their complementary strengths. Each team included members from around the world and a balanced range of capabilities including materials synthesis, characterization, device design and fabrication, theory and measurement, etc.  The teams received project mentoring from leading graphene experts including Harry Kroto and Sumio Iijima. 

Team Research Fellowship

The members of team 1, who had the most promising project, were offered postdoctoral scholar positions at CEA Laboratories on the GIANT Innovation Campus, Grenoble France (GIANT: Grenoble Innovation for Advanced New Technologies). Learn more.

CEA Laboratories will host Winning Research from the Grenoble Session

CEA has announced that it will host the most promising research project(s) to emerge from the upcoming GSAS Session on Graphene Fundamentals and Applications, to be held in Grenoble June 20-27, 2011. The team(s) with the winning research plan(s) will be hired as postdocs at CEA laboratories on the  the Giant Innovation Campus in Grenoble, France.

GIANT

Designed to respond to major societal challenges such as renewable energies and environmental problems, bioscience and human health, and communication technologies, the GIANT campus incorporates three technological centers of excellence in applied research: MINATEC in micro and nanotechnology, GreEn in energy and Nanobio in health and biotech. 

R&D facilities on the GIANT campus include four large CEA research institutes: LETI (micro and nanotechnologies) LITEN (new energy technologies) INAC (nanosciences and cryogenics) and iRTSV (integrated functions of proteins); CNRS-Grenoble (National center for scientifique research); the European Molecular Biology Laboratory; the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility; the Grenoble Institute of Technology; and many others.

Feedback from Fellows

What I appreciated most:
"What I appreciated here most was this very intense atmosphere which you normally do not have at a workshop. There was this intense atmosphere between the ones giving the lectures but also then between the young researchers on the teams. In the end, I was astonished by the really high quality of scientific background they achieved in such a short time."
