Laserlab-Europe AISBL Elections
ICREA professor Jens Biegert elected Chair of the association’s General Assembly
Jens Biegert, ICREA professor at the Institut de Ciencies Fotoniques in Barcelona, has recently been elected Chair of the General Assembly of Laserlab-Europe. He has an establish record over many years of active engagement within that organization, currently also serving as Chair of the Networking Board of Laserlab-Europe and in its Management Board.
ICFO is a participating infrastructure of Laserlab-Europe through its Attoscience and Ultrafast Optics facility led by Prof Biegert and its Super-resolution Light Nanoscopy & Microscopy (SLN) facility led by Dr Pablo Loza.
Laserlab-Europe, the integrated initiative of European laser research Infrastructures, is a EU H2020 research project that aims to strengthen Europe’s leading position and competitiveness in this area. To achieve this goal, it promotes the Europe-wide use of advanced lasers and laser-based technologies in research and innovation and serves as a cross-disciplinary user community from academia and the industry.
It is a competitively funded project that began to take shape back in the 1990’s. In order to give this long-term project continuity, Laserlab-Europe AISBL was formed as an international not-for-profit association. The General Assembly is the association’s decision-making body, consisting of 45 institutions across 22 countries as voting members, including ICFO. It appoints an Executive Director for the daily business that the General Assembly decides. (Source: ICFO)
