Journees des Actinides 2007Status
GoalsIn a joint venture, ITN-Sacavem, ITU-Karlsruhe, ILT&SR-Wroclaw and the Charles University, are proposing to organize the 37th Journées des Actinides to be held in Sesimbra, Portugal, 24-27 March, 2007. Funding is requested for students, postdocs, and young scientists (<35 years old) to attend the conference. The objective is to maintain and develop the JdA series conferences as the prominent European multidisciplinary actinide meeting, which is particularly opened to students and young researchers, and brings them into contact with world experts in various aspects of the physics, chemistry and material science of the actinides. The particular aim for 2007 is to enable 20 students or young researchers to attend the meeting planned in Portugal. Expected resultsThe JdA 2007 meeting is a part of general effort for sustaining and increasing knowledge of actinide science. It addresses, in general terms, a serious European problem – the continual loss of expertise in this vital area. Contacts and exchanges of students between the participating organizations (PhD, Postdocs, etc) and definition of collaborative projects may be the major outputs of the meeting. The JdA series plays a strong role, as the major meeting of the interdisciplinary type, in integration within EU and with non-EU countries. It is a basis for promotion of networks and centre of excellence (e.g. UserLab programme at ITU, Actinet porjects). It leads to informal contacts on different levels, gives especially to young researchers chance to meet other European colleagues of a similar age, in addition to making contact to experts/potential mentors. It enhances a social impact of ACTINET on the whole field of research. Reports |
