In addition to the courses, there is a special talk on Monday evening, a colloquium, which will take place on Tuesday, and a industry event on Wednesday. On Monday evening, snacks will be provided and on Tuesday evening, there is a reception which is free to all participants.
The Graduate Days will be held at the Bahrenfeld campus (DESY), Luruper Chaussee 149, 22761 Hamburg, both in The Center for Free Electron Laser Science (CFEL, Bld. 99), the Institute for Laser Physics (ILP, Bld. 69), and the Center for Optical Quantum Technologies (ZOQ, Bld. 90). How to get to the venue, please see here.
