Abstract
In this chapter, we present new training programs set up at all the different levels from first degree to master’s and doctoral degrees in French higher education, in universities, engineering schools, and Grandes Ecoles, but also in high school or even in primary school, to prepare young people for the new and highly cross-disciplinary field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, together with their many applications. Maps show the availability of nano master’s degrees in France and across Europe. We also discuss measures adopted to better inform the general public.

Erasmus Mundus is a program designed to improve the quality of European higher education and strengthen cross-cultural understanding. It encourages and supports the mobility of individuals and cooperation between both European and non-European establishments. The aim is to promote the European Union as an area of academic excellence on a worldwide scale, to contribute to the sustainable development of higher education in non-member countries, and to offer students the best possible career prospects. The program had a budget of some 950 million euros for the period 2009–2013.
