The Onassis Lectures 2023, which will be held from 3 to 7 July at the Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH) in Heraklion, Crete, aim to further educate and champion young and talented scientists, postgraduate and senior undergraduate students active in the field of exact sciences.
This year’s Onassis Lectures are dedicated to the science and applications of extreme light. The keynote speaker is Nobel laureate Gérard Mourou, co-inventor (with his at that time Ph.D. student Donna Strickland) of CPA (Chirped Pure Amplification), while eight more pioneers in the field of extreme light from the United States, Europe, and Asia complement the panel: Jean-Claude Kieffer (Professor, INRS, Canada), Eleftherios Goulielmakis (Professor, University of Rostock, Germany), Maciej Lewenstein (Professor, ICFO, Spain), Victor Malka (Professor, Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel), Nam Chang-hee (Professor, Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology, Korea), Jörg Schreiber (Professor, Ludwig Maximilians Universitaet, Germany), Toshiki Tajima (Professor, University of California, Irvine, USA), Paraskevas Tzallas (Research Director, FORTH, Greece). The individual presentations will cover a wide range of topics related to current and future high peak power, ultra-short pulse laser applications.
