In 2019, the year when ELI-NP laser system has reached its design parameters of 10 PW, the ELI-NP Summer School is dedicated to "Nuclear Physics with High Power Lasers". The School aims at introducing PhD students and young researchers to the novel research perspectives in the physics and applications of high-power lasers, covering the following topics: High peak power ultrafast lasers, High-power laser based particle acceleration and applications, Generation of bright coherent and incoherent gamma and x-ray pulses using short pulse lasers, Laser-driven nuclear physics, Physics of dense plasmas and warm dense matter, Astrophysics and cosmology with high-power lasers, Novel bio-medical imaging and therapeutic applications, Nuclear materials imaging, transmutation and management, Strong-field QED with high-power lasers.

After a very successful 1st edition in Dolní Břežany (Czech Republic) in 2016, we are pleased to announce the 2nd edition of the ELI Summer School (ELISS 2017), which will be hosted by ELI–Nuclear Physics and held in the period 27 August – 1 September 2017 at Cheile Gradistei, new Fundata Resort, situated at an altitude of 1300 m in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania.

Laser-driven nuclear physics is a rapidly developing field. Pioneering experiments are taking place, dedicated facilities are being commissioned and new facilities are currently planned. The aim of ELI-NP SUMMER SCHOOL, co-organized in 2015 in collaboration with ELI-DC AISBL, is to introduce PhD students and young researchers to this field while also presenting most recent experimental and theoretical advances. Well-recognized experts in the field will give the lectures, starting from an introductory level but also tackling more advanced topics. Students and young researchers are invited to contribute to the school with posters.
