Please note that the document is only valid for 8 days!BankingYou can arrange with the bank to close your bank account later, from abroad. Never forget that, even if you no longer use your bank account, you're still paying for it!In the event that you have emptied your account without closing it, the bank will have continued to deduct bank charges. You will then owe these fees to the bank before you can open an account with the same bank again, or even prevented from opening an account with another bank.MutuelleAsk them to cancel your cover on the date you leave Belgium (not the day you announce your departure): you must be covered until the end of your stay!If you forget to unsubscribe and return to Belgium, you will be liable for the contribution for the entire period since your departure. To avoid having to pay this amount, you'll need to prove that you were outside Belgium (for example, by the entry and exit stamps on your passport).

Learn more Unemployment The information provided below is very general. As many cases are unique and the legislation is very specific and changes regularly, it is best to contact:if you are staying in Belgium - a trade union or CAPAC;if you are returning to your home country, the relevant organization.In Belgium, you are entitled to unemployment benefits if you meet certain conditions, including the following:you are registered in the Belgian national register;you have worked as an employee.PhD and post-doctoral fellows pay social security contributions that enable them to access social security for healthcare. Pension and unemployment are not covered, which means they are not entitled to unemployment benefits.

The expertise of the Functional Structured Materials (FSM) pole is divided into two interconnected areas: the development of 3D porous architectures and the functionalization of nanostructures.

The Surfaces, Interfaces and Carbon Nanostructures (SICN) pole is active in the synthesis, characterization and modeling of new materials, with a particular focus on interfaces between two distinct phases and for low-carbon materials.

For their research activities, NISM Institute researchers rely on technology platform teams, each of which houses state-of-the-art equipment, technical know-how and cutting-edge expertise. They are accessible to the scientific community as well as to industry.

The Institute's research projects, publications and collaborations include all categories of researchers. Led by academic promoters, they mobilize post-doctoral researchers, PhD students and even master's students (student-researchers).

We study natural photonic structures, in connection with the evolution of certain biological functions in the living world (e.g. structural coloration). We develop bio-inspired applications in the field of materials and, in particular, devices using solar energy. Finally, we use and develop optical material characterization techniques for heritage sciences, notably in transdisciplinary research on parchments.

Material optics and plasmonicsResearch focuses on the structural and optical properties of nanomaterials and 2D materialsbased on theoretical approaches and numerical simulations. We are interested in the physical phenomena influencing the optical responses of materials and more specifically in the links between these and plasmonic excitations.Although our research into the importance of electromagnetic fields at the atomic scale is primarily fundamental in character, we are careful to keep a strong link with experiment and applications. At the technical level, we combine classical electrodynamics(DDA) to account for the optical and electron energy loss responses of structured systems and quantum methods(TB, DFT) to study the electronic properties of materials with, in some cases, the contribution of artificial intelligence.

Our research focuses on modeling the optoelectronic and mechanical properties of organic semiconductor materials. Understanding these properties allows us to establish a structure-property link and molecular-scale design rules enabling improved performance of these materials.

We study evolutionary methods for the optimization of optical systemsThe development of optical systems usually involves an optimization stage in which a set of parameters leading to maximum efficiency is sought. The complexity of these optimization problems increases exponentially with the number of parameters to be determined. We have developed evolutionary methods (genetic algorithms, PSO) to solve these optimization problems more efficiently.

We do theoretical and numerical physics. We specialize in photonics, the quantum science of light. We are in the era of the second quantum revolution. There is a craze for a better understanding of light-matter interactions from a fundamental point of view in order to cope with the next generation of quantum devices. This is where our adventure begins. Our tools are theoretical physics, including analytical modeling and numerical simulations, as close as possible to experiments. The group is also developing research activities in the science of teaching and learning, as well as scientific outreach.

We study the atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis and characterization of low-dimensional materials, ranging from carbonaceous materials such as nanotubes or graphene to other 2D materials such as boron nitride (hBN) or transition metal dichalcogenides (MoS2, WSe2, etc...).
