The GDR NanoTeraMIR aims to create links and exchanges between the French research actors in the fields of nanosciences, nanotechnologies of the THz and MIR frequency domains. Its scientific objectives are to enrich fundamental knowledge on the physical properties of nanomaterials and nanocomponents at the THz and MIR frequencies and to promote the emergence of new THz and MIR concepts, devices and instrumentation from nanosciences and nanotechnologies. This workshop in Montpellier will promote the structuration of the French community working on these general themes (THz, MIR, Nanosciences and Nanotechnologies) and will allow the development of international links via the Franco-Russian research network in the field of THz, IRN FIR-LAB.

The Fabre Museum is the main art museum in Montpellier. It was created following a proposal in 1824, of François-Xavier Fabre (1766-1837), painter and collector, to donate his collections to the city, provided that they were at the origin of a museum. It was installed in the Masilian Hotel, a 18th century mansion located east of the Ecusson, the historic centre of Montpellier, overlooking the Esplanade, in the immediate vicinity of Place de la Comédie.
