What’s new with nanos?
New articles will be published on our website soon. In the meantime, follow us on social media @VeilleNanos, where we compile nano-related insights identified through our monitoring activities: Linkedin (this is where you’ll find the most frequent information), Facebook, Bluesky (opened in November 2024 when our X / Twitter was discontinued).
You can also find out about nano-related (past or ucoming) events in veillenanos.fr agenda.
If you would prefer a concise and analytical retrospective overview of the year 2025, please note that our annual activity report will be published next April.
For 2026, we’re preparing new tests… Stay tuned!
And when we’re not in meetings, on this website, or at conferences, we sometimes contribute to other media outlets—these appearances are shared on our page: ‘AVICENN’s work in the spotlight’.
In any case, we are always happy to hear from you if you have questions, information, or analyses to share: write to us at contact@veillenanos.fr. (We may not always be able to reply quickly, but we do read your messages and do our best to respond.)
To join in 2026, click here—it’s just €10 (€5 for students or job seekers).
