We are thrilled to share that all of our THRILL Project partners met last week in the beautiful city of Prague for their annual General Assembly. All work package and task leaders provided updates on their recent progress. The presentations let to engaging discussions and productive exchanges, setting the[…]

“Trust your own ideas!” With our series #WomeninScience, we will portrait the female scientific staff working on THRILL. They tell us about their roles in our project, what inspires them about their work and their experiences as a woman in science. Meet our second guest, Zsuzsanna Major, staff scientist[…]

30 students from eight European countries have participated in the first summer school organised by the THRILL Project, held from 7-11 October at the Belambra Resort on the stunning Giens peninsula in the south of France. The goal of the programme was to raise awareness and to provide cutting-edge[…]

Today, we are thrilled to share that within the WP4 effort of THRILL project, the ELI-Beamlines team joined by GSI and HZDR teams, carried out a detailed study to assess the performance of the ATON 180 mm and 300 mm aperture amplifier types at different repetition rates (1 shot[…]

The ICUIL conference series is a taking place every other year, while rotating between Europe, North America and Asia. It is one of the most important conferences for the field of high-intensity high-energy lasers and we are proud to be well represented at the conference, where the THRILL team[…]

As part of THRILL Task 5.3, a workshop on adaptive optics integration will be held in conjunction with the LPA Special Workshop on Intelligent Systems from 13-16 January 2025 at the University of Oxford. This in-person event will host a larger community interested in topics related to machine learning,[…]

The developers are happy to announce the release v0.5.0 of the optic design / simulation software OPOSSUM! Over the past four releases, many concepts and features have been worked out. Meanwhile, the software can already be used for simulating real-life optical models. However, since the software still lacks a[…]
