IPFN hosts the 37th ECLIM Conference

The 37th European Conference on Laser Interaction with Matter (ECLIM 2024), held from September 16–20 at the IST Congress Centre, was organised by IPFN's Group for Lasers and Plasmas (GoLP). The event gathered over 150 participants from 15 countries.

The Local Organinizing Committee was chaired by GoLP founder Tito Mendonça. The conference featured numerous keynote and invited talks by renowned speakers in the field from leading European institutions. Besides the scientific content, participants enjoyed a lively welcome party on the first day, a walk through Lisbon, and a conference dinner that offered additional opportunities for in-depth discussions and collaborations.

ECLIM is a biennial conference hosted in Europe representing, since its first edition in 1966, a historic meeting for scientists working on the physics of laser-matter interaction with emphasis on laser fusion, laser-produced plasmas, particle generation and acceleration, laser-driven X-ray and EUV sources. The Conference is aimed to stimulate the development of research in the broad field of laser-matter interactions using high-power lasers, offering the opportunity to present and discuss new results and projects in a rather informal atmosphere.
