EUCALL initiates a Staff Exchange Program

The European Cluster of Advanced Laser Light Sources (EUCALL) has initiated a staff Exchange Program in which staff of EUCALL facilities (in particular young scientists) will be given the opportunity to develop a technical and instrumental background participating as visitors during periods of commissioning, internal, or users beamtime at different facilities. We include any employee from a EUCALL facility, not only those people working within EUCALL.

The Exchange Program will allow improvement of the average know-how of facility staff giving them the unique opportunity to develop personal experience on photon science experiments at different energy ranges from optical light, to XUV, to hard X-rays, facing different problems related to different classes of experiments (diffraction imaging, scattering, femtochemistry, atomic spectroscopy, etc.).

A simple example could be a week-long visit from a FERMI scientist to a group at FLASH (or vice versa), however we particularly encourage "cross-community" exchange between accelerator and optical laser facilities (for example an employee from an ELI pillar visiting European XFEL or ESRF).

EUCALL will reimburse travel and accommodation costs for the exchange.
