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.
Young people aged between 14 and 19 with a passion for research are challenged to answer the question: 'Imagine you are the founder of a science lab. What innovative experiment would you carry out 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, fill in the form:
The winners will be announced on July 23 and the visit to the National Institute for Nuclear Physics and Engineering in Măgurele is scheduled for July 24.
The laser from 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 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.
