Foresight and Sustainability Activities
WP6 Coordinator: ICFO
Foresight Activities aim at anticipating future strategic scientific, technological and innovation-related challenges with regard to laser science, technology and applications, to adjust Laserlab-Europe’s strategic positioning within the European research landscape of photonic-related installations, clusters of infrastructures and societies, and to enhance the long-term sustainability of cooperation within the Consortium.
Foresight Workshops
Past Workshops
We are currently witnessing spectacular advances in laboratory and facility-based x-ray sources which enable a wide range of investigations with unprecedented time resolution and element specificity. The aim of this Laserlab-Europe foresight workshop is to assess the state of the art and to discuss visions for future opportunities in laser-based x-ray science through technological developments and novel methods for scientific investigations.
Workshop on Sustainability of Laserlab-Europe, October 2016, Amsterdam, Netherlands
A targeted workshop was organised to assess the interest of the project members and vision for the future of Laserlab, to discuss strategic options to ensure the long-term sustainability of Laserlab-Europe, in particular the possibility of becoming an independent legal entity, and to define and prepare further steps.
