The previous module is the French contribution of   Master européen Erasmus Mundus : « Molecular nano- and bio-photonics for telecommunications and biotechnologies » (MONABIPHOT) oopen since the return of 2006-2007. Education is provided by several European academix institutions (ENS de Cachan, Université Complutense (Madrid, Espagne), Université de Wroclaw et Polytechnic Institute of Wroclaw (Pologne)) grouped in a consortium with ENS Cachan as coordinator (Isabelle Ledoux - LPQM). This master welcomes European students from partners colleges, but mainly students from third countries, thanks to a strong support from the European Union in the form of scholarships over two years .It is for students who intend to industrial or academic careers in the field of photonics, by a strong multidisciplinary approach involving physics, chemistry, biology and information technology.

This master is entirely based on d'Alembert Institute, which provides the skills imparted in Cachan and childcare facilities for research internships at the end of the cursus.

  Imaginano is the result of a Franco-Israeli partnership in the emerging field of "Nano-Bio Sciences" and associated applications. This Associated International Laboratory links the CNRS, the Weizmann Institute, the Tel-Aviv University, and Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Imaginano is the continuation of the former LIA named NABI, Created in 2008 at the initiative of the professors Joseph Zyss (France) and Ron Naaman (Israël).
The principal scientific activities are i) Novel innovations in microscopy and biological imagery ii) Photo-inducible biological processes iii)Biosensors and biochips iiii) Nanophysics
