The Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania, in partnership with the National Institute for Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Engineering in Măgurele, organizes a special visit, dedicated to gifted students and young people, passionate about research and nuclear physics, to one of the most powerful lasers in the world.
During the visit, students and young people from the FDVDR Center of Excellence and members of the "100 Youngsters for Romania's Development" campaign will have the opportunity to interact directly with top researchers, visit the research laboratories and participate in practical demonstrations of the experiments being carried out. At the same time, the opportunity to visit the laser at Măgurele is also open to other students and young people passionate about research. From July 12-21, young people aged between 14 and 19 are challenged to answer the question: "Imagine you are the founder of a science lab. What innovative experiment would you conduct for Romania?".
10 young people who come up with the most interesting answers will be able to visit the National Institute for Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Engineering in Măgurele. The visit is a unique opportunity to explore the world's most advanced laser up close and to learn from the world's leading specialists in the field.
To enter the competition, those interested should fill in the form available on www.fundatiadanvoiculescu.ro.
The special visit, organized by the Dan Voiculescu Foundation for the Development of Romania, aims to inspire young people and give them the opportunity to experience first-hand the cutting-edge research environment of nuclear physics and ultra-intensive lasers.
The laser at Măgurele, part of the Extreme Light Infrastructure - Nuclear Physics (ELI-NP) project, is one of the most powerful lasers in the world, capable of generating extremely intense pulses of light and opening up new horizons in scientific and applied research.
This will give young people a better understanding of the complexity and beauty of nuclear physics and how the cutting-edge technologies used at Măgurele contribute to revolutionary scientific discoveries. They will also have the chance to see how advanced equipment is operated and how research is carried out in areas such as laser-matter interactions and their applications in various sectors. This experience will give them an insight into a career as a scientist and the impact that scientific innovations can have on society.
The Dan Voiculesulescu Foundation for the Development of Romania is constantly investing in educating excellent young people who perform, supporting research and innovation, and this visit is a clear example of our commitment to support and develop Romania's future researchers. The laser at the National Institute for Nuclear Physics and Nuclear Engineering is not only an outstanding technological achievement, but also a source of inspiration for all those who wish to contribute to the progress of science and technology in our country.
