Nanoscience investigates the nature and use of systems with components of nanometric size. It covers a range of scientific fields with potential applications in almost all branches of the economy. The basic goal of nanoscience is to understand the structure and dynamics of materials at the atomic and molecular level, on which their macroscopic properties are based. By knowing the methods for micromanipulation of atoms and molecules, it is possible to build new compounds, devices and machines with completely new properties and possibilities of use. Examples include research for the construction of atomic-sized computer components on silicon circuits, the synthesis of new compounds for the detection of individual viruses and bacteria, magnets at the level of individual molecules, micromotors, and compounds that use sunlight to control environmental pollutants.
Starting from the 2024/2025 academic year, the Erasmus Mundus module GREENANO is taking place at MPŠ, in cooperation with the Université de Lorraine and the Università degli Studi di Roma Tor Vergata. It trains a new generation of engineers, researchers and sustainability managers for the development of nanomaterials. The consortium develops close partnerships with industry and leading universities around the world, enabling students to develop the excellent knowledge needed to tackle the big challenges brought about by the green and digital transition.

The basic objective of this programme is to qualify the candidate for:
A) General competences
B) Subject-specific competences
The Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Programme is a cross-disciplinary postgraduate study programme comprising the following research areas:
All the courses include the provision of basic skills for successful communication with experts in the areas of economic and civil law, corporate microeconomics and project management, and the basics of sustainable development.
Special emphasis will be placed on research into:
Similarly, there is a possibility for developing new areas in chemistry and pharmacy where new compounds are synthesized at the molecular level. The programme thus integrates a number of natural science and technical disciplines. Special emphasis is placed on the project-based research work of students, mentors and professors as an integral part of the study programme. Target knowledge and skills, which will be obtained by students in the areas of civil and commercial law, microeconomics, patent and intellectual property law, and the methods of raising "venture" capital, should enable the students, upon the completion of their studies, to better communicate with experts in these areas in order to develop and commercialize the results of nanotechnological research.
