We support the initiative of our Russian colleagues who, in an open letter already signed by several thousands of scientists, protest against the hostilities launched by the armed forces of their country in Ukraine.
We join them in stressing that their many international collaborations should continue and can only be carried out in a climate of peace.
C2N has several collaborations with Russian researchers, in particular through the International Research Project PHYNICS, the scientist in charge and several participants of which have signed the open letter.
We welcome in our laboratory students and researchers from Ukraine who wish to continue their activities in the framework of the area of research we are working on*.
For researchers, the French Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (MESRI) has implemented a Program of Assistance for the Emergency Reception of Scientists in Exile (PAUSE - Solidarité Ukraine) which can be called upon. The C2N will provide all the necessary conditions for the realization of scientific projects.

Research
The centre develops research in the fields of material science, nanophotonics, nanoelectronics, nanobiotechnologies and microsystems, as well as in nanotechnologies. Its research activites cover all the range from fondamental to applied science.
The scientific project revolves around 10 major scientific challenges which are common to the 4 departments and federate research within the laboratory.
Jobs
Each year, researchers, engineers and technicians from around the world apply for CNRS or Paris-Saclay University positions to carry out their activity at C2N.
A number of internship, PhD position and Post-doc opportunities are also open at C2N.
Facility
The C2N gathers 3 plateforms into the Technology Facility and 3 platforms of expertise in instrumentation and characterization (optical and multiphysics).
The C2N Technology Facility belongs to the national nanofabrication network (Renatech network).
