Thanks to EU support, the work of Nobel prize winners in Hungary is made possible! The ELI-ALPS Laser Research Centre is one of the pillars of this infrastructure which was built in Szeged and is one of the largest scientific investments in Europe, with support from the European Union.
- 19 October 2023
The EU's European Regional Development Fund has contributed EUR 240 million from the Operational Programmes "Economic Development" for the 2007 to 2013 programming period and “Economic Development and Innovation Operational Programme” for the 2014-2020 period.
We would like to congratulate this year’s Nobel Prize winners in physics, Anne L'Huillier, Ferenc Krausz and Pierre Agostini who have been awarded for their achievements in the field of attoscience. The Nobel Committee has recognized the three researchers “for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter.”
Anne L'Huillier’s and Ferenc Krausz’s activities are significantly intertwined with Extreme Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source (ELI ALPS) Laser Research Institute.
Anne L'Huillier was member of the Scientific Advisory Committee tasked with defining the concept of the research centre and Ferenc Krausz is credited with paving the way for the establishment of the Hungarian pillar of ELI in Szeged, and with efforts to attract talented scientists to Hungary, which also laid the foundation for research activities at ELI ALPS, which represents Europe's commitment to advancing scientific frontiers, promoting innovation, and fostering collaboration on a continental scale.
