Education

Some of the many applications of short term scientific missions (STEM) could include particles that fight cancer cells, faster microprocessors that consume less energy, batteries that last 10 times longer or solar panels that yield twice as much energy. These are some of the many applications of nanotechnology, a discipline with all the ingredients to turn into the next industrial revolution. You have the opportunity to change the world for the better by addressing some of the biggest challenges that face your generation.

fit4nano aims to plant a seed of inspiration to students and their educators about nanotechnology, functional nanostructured materials, focused ion beam microscopes, all under the broad umbrella of STEM topics. fit4nano merges aspects of the traditional science behind the focused ion beam technology with innovative materials design and cutting edge applications.

fit4nano promotes gender equality in STEM career development with women and men scientists participating and holding leading roles,  highlighting the holistic character of science to the high school students.
