Intra-Consortium exchanges of know-how

Objective: Fostering the organization of staff exchange and joint experiments by scientists or technicians from several LASERLAB Infrastructures in order to increase the Intra-Consortium exchange of know-how.

The first call for applications for intra-consortium exchanges of know-how for the time until 31 May 2012 is open. There are two lines of action:

a) Joint experiments

b) Staff exchange and mobility actions

Deadline for applications: 30 January 2012
