Les Très Grands Instruments offrent des possibilités uniques d'explorer les matériaux et la matière vivante dans une variété de domaines d'application. Comme ils mettent en oeuvre des méthodes et des techniques hautement spécialisées , il peut être parfois difficile de savoir en quoi ces installations peuvent être utiles pour résoudre des problèmes scientifiques dans le domaine de la santé. C'est pourquoi l’Alliance EUGLOH a décidé d'organiser un cours intensif de quatre jours sur les Très Grands Instruments rattachés à EUGLOH (le synchrotron SOLEIL, le synchrotron MAX IV et le centre laser intenses ELI) afin de sensibiliser les étudiants et les personnels des universités partenaires aux possibilités offertes par ces installations qui contribuent à la construction du paysage Européen de la recherche. Vous aurez un aperçu approfondi des possibilités de carrière, des techniques et des applications (biomédicales et environnementales) de ces sources de lumière intense. Les deux derniers jours de l'école seront consacrés à des sessions pratiques sur la rédaction de projets avec des professeurs spécialisés en écriture.
