EuPRAXIA-DN Camp III: Innovation

5 Oct 2025, 08:30 → 7 Oct 2025, 17:00 Europe/Rome

University of Pécs

Carsten Peter Welsch, Turnár Szabolcs

The third EuPRAXIA Camp will delve into exploring the innovations that EuPRAXIA will enable.  Talks will look into how combining new technologies can lead to innovative applications across medicine, biology, chemistry and material science and much more.

 

This 2-day science workshop will be split into sessions led by invited keynote speakers who will first present the state-of-the-art in a particular area. This will then be followed by selected presentations from other workshop participants of either 12 or 25 minute duration. 

Generous discussion time will be included in each session and there will also be more general discussions at the end of each day linking between different areas. A poster session will complement the challenge-driven program. 

The EuPRAXIA Camps are open to everyone interested in the latest R&D results in plasma accelerators and not limited to members of EuPRAXIA. Participants are asked to suggest their contribution during registration and indicate if they would like to contribute a talk or a poster.

Abstract submission deadline: 31 August 2025

Registration deadline: 12 September 2025

Payment deadline: 12 September 2025
