The workshop was a success! Thanks to all participants both in person and online

This annual workshop is organised alternately in France and Czech Republic with as main aim to promote ongoing and foster new bilateral collaboration between research laboratories from both countries in the broad field of nanotechnologies. Invited presentations will give a selection of current spearheading research activities in the broad domains of photonics, spintronics, nanoelectronics, spectroscopy and THz technology. Invited French and Czech speakers will give an overview of latest ongoing research in a selection of laboratories of both countries, revealing complementary expertise and research interests.

The workshop will consist of 19 invited talks, along with a poster session intended for local and Czech student & postdoctoral participants on the opening night accompanied by a welcome drink .
