It is intended to be a forum for detailed discussion on the three research lines identified within the Action, namely, biotechnological applications, intense laser applications and electron-phonon phenomenology and ways to tackle them by promoting collaborations among researchers from different fields.

A call for contributions has been launched

Please send your abstract (download template here) by email to ca17126@industriales.upm.es before 22 May 2022. The abstract should not exceed one page (including title, author/s and affiliation/s).

A preliminary version of the programme can be downloaded here.

Since the budget is limited, the participation (eligible to be reimbursed) of Action members who can better contribute to this Meeting will be prioritised according to the criteria approved by the Action MC.

The Committee will enforce COST inclusiveness policies. Therefore, Young Researchers & Innovators, ITC, as well as women, to promote and improve gender balance, will be prioritized.

In addition, geographical distribution of participants will be considered to avoid underrepresented or overrepresented regions.

FORTH proposes a list of hotels. The prices in July vary between 60 and 90 Euros. As special prices apply for visitors of FORTH, we recommend you contact the hotel via e-mail (see below) and state that you plan to participate in a workshop organized by FORTH and therefore you request the special discount; mention also the COST Action TUMIE meeting.

Please, feel free to contact us in case of a problem. Some of these hotels request either a down payment for the first night by a direct deposit in their bank account or through a
secure webpage to pay by a credit card. Alternatively, you can try booking a room in these hotels through booking com (or similar). In the latter case, you understand that special
