This summer of 2022, Grenoble INP-UGA’s Graduate schools of Engineering and Management is offering its two summer programs, one in Micro & Nanotechnology and one in Smart Energies.

Both courses are taught by highly-qualified teaching staff in Grenoble INP-UGA’s fields of expertise. This year, GINSEN Summer Schools are offering a new option to students! They can design their summer programme by getting:

  •   Our “discover GINSEN” pack: 2 weeks of scientific lectures, lab sessions and visits to high-tech R&D facilities (from June 27th to July 8th, 2022 and 2 ECTS credits)
  • And adding the “discover France” pack: 1 extra week of French, Management and Interculturality classes for a fully immersive experience (from June 20th to June 27th, 2022 and 1 ECTS credit)

As well as the usual social program with daily excursions, escape games and loads more!

The nanotechnology program specializes in nano functional materials and microsystems and is tailored for students in Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Applied Physics, Telecommunication, Material Science, Electrical Engineering (preferably at 3rd year of bachelor's or 1st year master’s level).

Please note:

* We would like to inform everyone coming to France for our program that, even though there are still restrictions in place, we will make sure every accepted student finds a way to come study at Grenoble INP-UGA.

** For the credits attributed in the GINSEN Summer Schools to be accepted by the home institution, we advise all students to check with their teachers and/or program director beforehand.

*** For students to be eligible for this discount, they must provide proof of enrollment in one of our Unite! partner universities by being formally nominated by them (via email or nomination letter, as long as it has the student’s name, year and field of studies). This offer will only be attributed to the first chosen few (please note however that we are opening an equal number of spots on each of the institutions) on a basis of “first come, first served”.
