The Hellenic Mediterranean University and its Nanomaterials for Emerging Devices Research Group (HMU) in Greece organize the Blended Intensive Program (BIP) Emerging Materials and Applications. The BIP aims to introduce the specialization tracks of the Erasmus Mundus joint MSc degree European Master on Embedded Nanosystems Engineering (EMINENT). Partners on this BIP are:
The Hellenic Mediterranean University (Greece)
The University of Siegen (Germany)
The VILNIUS TECH (Lithuania)
NOVA University Lisbon (Portugal)
The University of Orleans (France)
The online sessions started with the INFRACHIP training program and will continue every Friday at 1000 CET, following the schedule of the ATHENA Talks 2025. The face-to-face program will occur from February 24th to February 28th, 2025, at HMU (Heraklion Crete). It will be similar to the winter school program for the EMINENT and INFRACHIP students.
The BIP number is 2023-1-EL01-KA131-HED-000114775-8
