“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.
igss summer school
The integrated Graduate School Solvation Science hosts an annual Summer School at the Ruhr University Bochum. The school always takes place during Whitsuntide and is an integral part of the GSS students' training during their doctoral studies.
The tenth Summer School Solvation Science took place from Tuesday 21st to Friday 24th of May 2024 in Bochum.
International speakers, suggested by a committee of iGSS students, are invited to give keynote talks on their research in the field of Solvation Science. 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.
