Nano
is the next big thing

Since 2019, the UB-IEEE Nano-Symposium stands as a showcase to demonstrate the outstanding research achievements by the UB Electrical Engineering faculties and students in the field of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, and to build a stronger connection between the Department and the IEEE society.

In this year's event, a special session is organized to celebrate “the 75th anniversary of the transistor”, in which a series of invited talks will review the transistor technology from different perspectives.

Participation is free of charge, but registration is compulsory. Please complete the registration before attending the event.
