EI Nano Community Building 2022

The annual Community Building activity will take place 22-24 August at Varbergs Kusthotell.

Join us, present your work and get the best cross-disciplinary Nano-feedback and inspiration possible at Chalmers!

The community building activity includes a broad scientific programme with lectures, a poster exhibition, and discussions in combination with team building and networking.

The event is open to Chalmers employees and invited guests only. It is free of charge, but all participants need to register.

When: 22-24 August 2022

Where: Varbergs Kusthotell
Registeration is closed.

Last day of registration and poster abstract submission: 3 June, 2022

For PhD students and PostDocs submission of a poster abstract and participation in the poster exhibition at the event is mandatory. (The poster walls at Varbergs Kusthotell are designed for posters of up to 180*72 cm in size, which means that they are a bit narrower than A0 (118*84 cm). Therefore, we encourage you to either adapt your poster to suitable size or use the wall space in the best possible way if your poster is A0)
