The Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM), is inviting master students with a strong background in natural sciences or engineering to join us for eight weeks of compelling and demanding nanotechnology research starting on 1 July, 2010.
On each of the sixteen projects in Munich, Großhadern and Augsburg one or two participants are matched with a graduate fellow acting as a research mentor.
As a participant you will collaborate with other international students to
- Work on fascinating and demanding topics in Nano Sciences
- Operate state of the art scientific equipment
- Sharpen your scientific and technical skills
- Develop your presentation and scientific writing abilities
Research projects are offered in the following fields:
- Analytical Transmission Electron Microscopy
- Experimental Physics – Biological Physics
- Fluorescence Applications in Biology (2)
- Functional Nanosystems
- Inorganic Chemistry (2)
- Nanothermodynamics
- Physical Chemistry – Materials Science (6)
- Theoretical Physics – Molecular Electronics
- Theoretical Solid State Physics

Within the Erasmus Mundus framework, the following five top European universities have now joined forces, pooling their individual expertise and experience in the fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology, to offer an exciting new master programme.
- The Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (Belgium): programme coordinator
- Chalmers Tekniska Högskola (Sweden)
- Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands)
- Leiden University (the Netherlands)
- Technische Universität Dresden (Germany)
The lectures offered by the consortium are embedded within various research centres such as IMEC in Leuven, the Casimir Research School in Delft/Leiden, the Max Planck Institute in Dresden, and the MC2 centre in Chalmers. This strong link between education and research ensures a contemporary programme at the cutting edge of state-of-the art research.
The master programme has a duration of two years (120 ECTS points). Erasmus Mundus students follow courses at K.U. Leuven and another university of the consortium. Courses are taught in English.
