Upcoming
ELI ERIC organises a Summer School on Intense Lasers and laser-based technologies that will be held on 25-29 August 2025 at ELI Beamlines in Dolni Brezany, Czechia.
ELI is offering a limited number of grants for international students from countries with limited access to research funding or infrastructures, who are strongly motivated to participate in ELISS2025. Financial assistance to the selected candidates is offered in the form of waived registration fee, accommodation provided by the organisers and reimbursement of cost for travel.
What to expect?
The 5-day programme of ELISS2025 will offer the participants a balanced combination of extended tutorials on laser technology with overview lectures on laser-driven radiation sources and instruments based on them. Laboratory tours will give an opportunity to see the on-site ELI Beamlines technologies. The participants will receive an overview of experimental capabilities offered by the ELI Facilities. The rich programme of the anniversary 10th ELI Summer School will provide participants with an opportunity to obtain practical skills through various satellite activities based on their choice. Hands-on trainings, user application writing exercises, or an ELI Science Olympiad will offer alternatives to engage with ELI in a dynamic way, in order to balance new lectures and practical knowledge.
Participants will have a platform to showcase their research during a poster session and discuss their questions with Scientific Consultants; network in ice-breaking events, such as coffee breaks, Gala Dinner and informal gatherings.
We encourage the participants to plan their arrival on Sunday (24 August) in the afternoon/evening and departure on Friday evening (29 August) or Saturday (30 August).
Scientific topics covered in the programme
- Ultra-high intensity lasers and advanced laser technologies
- Laser-matter interaction
- High-energy density physics and warm dense matter
- Science of high repetition rate and free electron lasers
