The Grenoble Branch of the National Institute for Nuclear Sciences and Techniques (INSTN) boasts a catalogue of some 30 continuing education programs in micro and nanotechnologies, new energy technologies, and regulatory safety. INSTN can also develop custom programs on request.

Each year, the Institute runs around 50 training sessions ranging from a half day to four weeks in length for some 600 participants, mainly from the CEA (the French Atomic Energy Commission), but also from industry, universities, and the CNRS (the French National Center for Scientific Research). These programs represent a total of 15,000 man hours of training per year.
The Grenoble branch of the INSTN differs from the Institute’s other branches in that it focuses heavily on micro and nanotechnologies and benefits from an extremely favorable scientific environment. For example, some of the lab work for INSTN courses is completed using the advanced equipment at the MINATEC nanocharacterization platform or at other MINATEC labs.
INSTN runs several programs in partnership with Grenoble INP; these include continuing education programs in x-ray material characterization and full-time Master’s degree programs.
