“If you were offered $1000 to go an entire day without interacting with lasers, do you think you could do it? What if you also couldn‘t use anything that had been built with the help of lasers?” At first glance that might not seem that hard. But a laser physicist would most likely not take this bet, knowing in advance that this “day without lasers” would certainly be a very uncomfortable day, without smart-phones, internet, computers, flat screens and DVDs - laser-fabricated machines not even included.
summer school Solvation Science
RESOLV hosts an annual summer school at ZEMOS, Ruhr-Universität Bochum. The school always takes place after Whitsun and is an integral part of the integrated Graduate School Solvation Science (iGSS) students' training during their doctoral studies. Scholarships for international students and PhD candidates are also available upon admission.
International speakers, suggested by a committee of iGSS students and RESOLV postdocs, are invited to give keynote talks on their research in the field of Solvation Science. In career-boosting workshops, school participants may meet industry professionals or fine-tune their personal skills. The Advanced Laboratory Modules give the students an excellent opportunity to learn new and interesting experimental and theoretical techniques within a specific research topic of their own choice.
