ELFT HÍRADÓ

[Földes István <foldes.istvan AT wigner.hu>]

The EU funded project THRILL organises a summer school on Applications 
of High Energy / High Power Lasers from 7 to 13 June 2026 in Hirschegg, 
Austria. Focus topics will be:

 * Warm-dense matter research, magnetic field generation, dynamic
   compression of materials
 * Secondary sources of particles and radiation for medical
   applications and high-field QED
 * Inertial Fusion Energy
 * Nuclear Photonics
 * Laboratory Astrophysics

The school will alternate lectures and directed work in small groups.

*PhDs & early career scientists are invited to register through the 
event website before 31 March 2026 (extended deadline).*

If your institute is not a member of the THRILL consortium, the 
participation fee for the summer school is EUR 500.

/The THRILL project <https://www.thrill-project.eu> aims at providing 
new designs and high-performance components for high-energy 
high-repetition-rate lasers, enabling the technical readiness level 
required to specify and build the needed devices. THRILL is funded by 
the EU’s HORIZON EUROPE program under the grant agreement 101095207. 
Participating institutions, apart from GSI/FAIR, are Helmholtz-Zentrum 
Dresden-Rossendorf, European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser Facility and 
Forschungsverbund Berlin in Germany, as well as Centre National de la 
Recherche Scientifique and Amplitude Systems in France, the ELI ERIC, 
Laserlab-Europe AISBL in Belgium and the University of Rochester in the 
USA./
