• The Schnupper Summer School will take place again from 7 to 11 July 2025. A great opportunity to immerse yourself in the nano curriculum or another study program for half a day. The program will be available later.  
• This year we are taking part in the Basler Ferienpass for the first time (8 and 22 July). You can find us under program 97. Please note that you have to buy a vacation pass to participate in the program.
• From 23 to 25 October 2025, we are back on the road with the Science Days. We are looking forward to turbulent days and many encounters. The program will be published here shortly. 
• On 13 November, we are looking forward to a lecture by Prof. Dr. Christian Schönenberger on light and color at the VHS Bremgarten. More information.
• On 21 November, all degree programs will once again be presented during the Bachelor Info Day. We are really looking forward to the exchange! https://www.unibas.ch/de/Infotag-Bachelor.html

We regularly take part in various science exhibitions and festivals, providing insights into fascinating phenomena from the nanoworld. Here are a few examples from recent years.

• AFM workshop
  • Introduction to the world of the atomic force microscope (AFM)
  • Basics of atomic force microscopy; construction of a model AFM; taking your own measurements with our portable AFMs (introduction video)
• Discover Nano 
  • Various experiments that illustrate phenomena from the nanoworld and demonstrate example applications (e.g., the lotus effect, ChocoFoil)
• Lab tours – brief insights into SNI-associated laboratories in the areas of physics, chemistry, biology and pharmacy
• Internships in SNI-associated laboratories (physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacy) — immerse yourself in the practical work of researchers
  • Limited number of internship places with lead times
• Real-time demo electron microscopy – From the classroom into the Nano Imaging Lab
  • We visit you in your classroom and introduce you to electron microscopy. In addition, thanks to a remote-controlled scanning electron microscope (SEM) in our Nano Imaging Lab at the University of Basel, we can view various samples in real time under the SEM. With the help of a focused ion beam, we can also cut and coat samples very precisely. (impressions)
• Change of Perspective – the artistic way to get closer to the nanosciences
  • Taking photos in laboratories at the Department of Physics and turning the images into art; exhibition in the school and at the University of Basel
