International Symposium on the Celebration of 10 Years with ELI-NP

International Symposium on the
Celebration of 10 Years with ELI-NP - 10 PW on Target

The most powerful laser system in the world
2 x 10 PW

This event is a unique occasion to witness ELI-NP's:

Main achievements in Science and Technology
Targets ad Goals revisited
New horizons explored

The implementation and operation of the ELI-NP laser system represents a major scientific and technological leap forward in the field of high power ultrashort pulse lasers enabling new frontiers of knowledge to be reached.

The Symposium is honouring Nobel prize winner Professor Gerard Mourou who initiated the Extreme Light Infrastructure project and who envisioned and strongly supported the realization of the Nuclear Physics pillar of ELI.

Programme

The event will take place in Magurele during October 24^th-25^th, 2023, at the IFIN-HH/ELI-NP Conference Centre, according to the following programme

ELI-NP in the making, making history

The largest investment ever made in scientific research in Romania, co-financed by the European Commission and the Romanian Government from Structural Funds via the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF)

First ESFRI project implemented in the new EU Member States EU13, pioneering a novel funding model, combining structural funds (ERDF) for the implementation and member contributions to an ERIC for the operation

Groundbreaking Power Optics instruments and methods

New perspectives for Nuclear Physics

First time ever, a 2 x 10 PW HPLS is operational

Frontiers fall, horizon is the moving limit
