Objective The heart of this proposal is to give access for European fellows to interdisciplinary knowledge and training focused on the elaboration and properties of nano-objects (metal nanoparticles, dendrimers and surfactant aggregates).The training site localized at the University Paul Sabatier in Toulouse is composed of three internationally recognized research teams working with a multidisciplinary approach.It will provide to the fellows the common technical and methodological background on three complementary aspects of those nano-objects:- the chemical synthesis leading to size and shape controlled nano-objects,- the control of their organization and mesostructure in volume or along a surface- their properties in catalysis, biology and material science.The training will combine laboratory work focused on a "cutting edge" research project and lectures. Those lectures (selected academic courses, weekly seminars, talks given by invited world famous scientists and lectures dedicated to the EST fellows) will broaden and deepen the fellow's knowledge in the field, promote innovation and interdisciplinarity and help the trainee's career development.Through the multidisciplinary research project, the fellows will be trained in various chemical syntheses (organochemistry, chemistry of heteroelements, surfactant chemistry), in the characterization of the nano-object mesostructures (they will have access to the most advanced characterization techniques) and in applications of the nano-objects in connection with societal issues (catalysts for green chemistry, environmental sensors, drug carriers, transfection, anti-HIV agents for health care issue).This training will ensure the development of a pool of young scientists having a large multidisciplinary background and able to deal with the challenges of the nanomaterial field. It will increase synergies and collaborations between European research centres and favour the leadership of the European activity in this field.
