BE sMArTERIALS!
General description
Take a minute to look around : from the silicium of your laptop to the glass of windows, you are surrounded by materials that didn't even exist a few years ago. Nowadays, materials are literally designed to fulfil their purpose, using the latest features out of labs. And as they are at the basis of the whole production industry, the fields of application are countless!
As a participant, you will have the opportunity to dive into the world of materials, from lectures by international specialists to visits of European designed laboratories. But Grenoble is more than the BEST place for science...
Are you ready to rock the Alps?
Let's introduce you to the Grenoble way of life : creamy and cheesy Tartiflette, Tarantino's beloved Chartreuse, and cottage parties in the middle of snowy mountains!!
