[The CIVIS Newsroom ](https://civis.eu/en/the-civis-newsroom) 2. A CIVIS e-journey into Nano A CIVIS e-journey into Nano ============================= General 15 December 2020 Aix-Marseille Université, the Universidad Autonóma de Madrid and Sapienza University of Rome invite **Academics and Researchers from all CIVIS member universities** to follow **an entire day dedicated to the presentation of their Master's programmes and research activities** in the field of **Nanosciences** and **Nanotechnologies** on **Tuesday 15 December 2020.** The programme will include focussed flash-talks on specific topics. The overarching objective of this journey is to build durable collaborations for a future European master degree in Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies, which will be discussed during a round table talk between the main actors in education, international relations and research centres associated to the participating universities in the field. ### Registration**:** The webinar is opened to Academics from all eight CIVIS member Universities. People interested in attending the event must register through the online form by **Monday 14 December, 16:00 (CET)** NB: the link of the virtual room will be sent to your email address.
