Area of Advance Nano community building activity 2023

The annual Community Building activity will take place 21-23 August at Tanum strand, in Grebbestad.

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 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. The registration closes 12 June, 2023.
