MaNEP third phase is begins
End of June 2009, the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF) officially accepted the third phase of MaNEP for the period 2009-2013. From July 1st, 2009 it develops around eight scientific projects. 15 new full members and 13 new associate members have joined MaNEP for this third phase. MaNEP counts also several new industrial partners.
When art meets MaNEP science
At the end of 2008, Swiss sculptor Etienne Krähenbühl (right on picture) took up up the challenge to produce a work-of-art based of MaNEP's field of research. The result of this unforeseen encounter - which is still a work in progress - will be displayed in a few months at the Geneva Physics Institute where MaNEP has its headquarters. And to immortalize the collaboration between the artist and the technical/scientific team, a documentary is currently being filmed... To be followed very soon !
