Hands on Labs: The rules
The Hands-on Labs are an essential part of the INFIERI Schools training!
LABS REGISTRATION IS NOW OPENED SINCE AUGUST 21 at 6pm LOCAL TIME.
BUT FOR LAB REGISTRATION TO BE ACCEPTED YOU MUST FIRST REGISTER AT THE SCHOOL.
There is at least one Lab for each main lecture topic
It is organized and set up by confirmed researchers or academics who ensure themselves the training during the whole duration of the school.This implies that they can organized the overall 2 weeks school duration, if needed, in a team work, with 2 or 3 same level experts.
Each Hands-on Lab is run each day of the school i.e. from Tuesday till Saturday (included) over the first week and from Monday till Friday (included) over the second week. Thus 10 days in total, from 2 to 5 pm.
Each day the same Lab is run but with different teams of school attendants, with 2 or 3 school attendants for the hardware-based Labs and 3 to 5 School attendants for the software based Labs.
Therefore Labs cannot be running only on some specific days of the school duration.
The hands-on Labs are by definition not demonstrator Labs or visits.
They include an introductory lecture of 30 to 40 minutes, on the specific topic developed in this Lab session. This allows complementing important aspects that cannot be covered in the plenary lecture and/or offers to introduce each student deeper in the topic.
The students can repeat a Lab session another day if they feel they need it for a better comprehension of the topic.
Some Labs can be organized in two sessions of 3 hours each if needed.It is to say a "beginner session" and an "advanced session". And students can of course jump to the "advanced session", depending their level on the topic.
The presence of the school attendants is registered each day for each lab session in a dedicated Lab-Logbook (digital version only), that each Lab organizer will fill.
Each students performing the Lab, will be evaluated by the Lab organizer. This can be used by the students on their request to get credits for their cursus at their home Institution (as asked a number of INFIERI school attendants in previous school editions).
Hands-on Labs training Program
There will be around 30 Hands-on Lab in total, that will covered the following main topics as presented in the plenary lectures:
- Theoretical Masterclass on Quantum Mechanics , Plasma Physics, Particle Physics and Astrophysics
- Advanced microelectronics and Semiconductors Technology Labs
- Hardware-based Labs on Prototypes of New Instruments
- Labs on New Energies: New developments/applications on Nuclear Energies (Fusion and Fission) and Biofuels
- Labs on new features of High Performance Computing, HPC.
- Hardware and software based Labs on Photonics
- Artificial Intelligence dedicated Labs both software and hardware based.
- Quantum Science and Technology dedicated Labs
- High Field Field magnets
