Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) represents the largest investment ever made
in scientific research in Romania. It is worth more than 320M Euro and is co-financed by the European Commission
and the Romanian Government from Structural Funds via the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Due to its unique characteristics this infrastructure will provide new opportunities for the study of fundamental
processes occurring in light-matter interaction and will focus on laser-based nuclear physics. ELI-NP
will provide state of the art laboratories addressing a broad range of scientific research area from frontier
fundamental physics, new nuclear physics and astrophysics to applications in nuclear material and radioactive
waste management, material science and life sciences that will actively promote its benefits for the society.

Each twelve-week session covers the same general topics.
The lectures probably will be recorded on a systematic basis and may be posted on the web page of the
"Saturday Morning Physics at ELI-NP" program and also on Youtube channel and Facebook.
Students who attend and complete classes of the twelve-week course will be awarded a Certificate of Accomplishment.
The certificate is handed over at a closing ceremony.
The certificate can not be used as a professional attestation document, but some faculties may grant credits to program graduates.
