The 8th edition of the ELI Summer School series aims to provide young scientists with a comprehensive overview of the generation and application of intense laser pulses and laser-driven particle and radiation sources. Last year, more than 300 students from 29 countries followed the scientific programme of ELISS in front of the screens - and this time, the pandemic situation allows us to finally meet in person again.

Main topics include:

• High-power ultrafast lasers
• Generation of bright coherent and incoherent X-ray pulses using short pulse lasers
• Free electron lasers from IR to x-rays
• Ultrafast imaging techniques with short x-ray pulses
• Function and applications of short x-ray pulses (including synchronizations)
• Particle acceleration by lasers and applications: proton therapy
• Physics of dense plasmas and warm dense matter, laboratory astrophysics
• Ultra-intense laser matter interaction
• Nuclear physics with high-intensity lasers
• Femtoscience: applications in biology, chemistry and solid-state physics
• Generation of attosecond pulses: Attoscience photonics

The Summer School is organised with the support of the IMPULSE project.
