Call for proposals for training events to be supported by Laserlab-Europe in 2019

Deadline for applications: 17 February 2019

 

Laserlab-Europe invites proposals for international user training schools or training events, to be co-organized by Laserlab-Europe under the work package Training and User Community Development, Task: Cooperation with existing training programmes.

Objectives:

  • Train a new generation of researchers to enable them to make optimum use of laser facilities, to exploit new experimental and theoretical approaches in photonics and laser-related science and to use them in novel applications with high industrial and societal impact;
  • Attracting and training of new users in domains of science such as bio photonics, medicine, pharmacy, ICT, material research, environment, in industry, and in European regions where laser user communities are still less developed;
  • Increase efficiency in these activities through cooperation with externally funded activities, aiming at a similar development of human resources, and in close collaboration with other European facilities, networks, projects and industry, such as FELs of Europe, ELI, EuroBioImaging, Photonics21, EOS, etc.

Examples of previous co-funded training events:

  • ELI Summer School, ELISS2018, Szeged, Hungary, August 2018
  • Lasers in Medicine and Life Sciences - LAMELIS 2018, Szeged, Hungary, July 2018
  • Zakopane School of Physics Breaking Frontiers: Submicron Structures in Physics and Biology, Zakopane, Poland, May 2017
  • MEDEA ITN Summer School 2016, Ultrafast dynamics with intense radiation sources, Crete, Greece, October 2016
