Lectures, interactive discussion sessions and teamwork from distinguished experts of the field provide comprehensive overview of the basic theoretical background and practical applications of lasers in medicine and life sciences.

This interdisciplinary setting will provide deeper insights into the integration of laser-based methods with AI-driven and computational approaches, offering a broader perspective on technological advancements in life sciences and their wider implications.

Participating students are trained in-person or by live streaming courses online in different topics related to the development of transversal skills:

• Basic theory and operation of lasers


• Basics of optics


• Classification of lasers


• Lasers in medical imaging


• Lasers in therapy


• Laser spectroscopy


• Super-resolution microscopy


• Laser-assisted manufacturing


• Micromanipulation, microfluidics


• Laser-based methods with AI-driven and computational approaches

_{WHO IS THE TARGET AUDIENCE?}

Although the depth of talks is tailored for students in life sciences, the summer school is open to students from all faculties interested in the theoretical background and practical implementation of lasers in life sciences.

Requirements: No special background knowledge is required. School is also open for junior and senior scientists of the participating universities.

Physical attendance at the University of Szeged (Hungary): maximum 30 students from bachelor, master and PhD students from all faculties of the partner universities of the EUGLOH alliance.

Online participation unlimited number of participants.

Please specify in your motivation letter whether you want to participate in person or online.

HOW ARE PARTICIPANTS SELECTED?

1. Motivation: as a primary filter, applicants must submit a motivation letter explaining their motivation to apply for the event (maximum 3000 characters)


2. Timestamp of application (‘first come, first served’) will be used as a secondary filter to break possible ties between applicants.

WHAT PEDAGOGICAL METHODS/TOOLS ARE APPLIED?
