Laguna Palace Hotel Grado, Italy

Description

We are proud to announce the 2025 "FELs of Europe topical workshop on selected problems in FEL physics: from soft X-rays to THz", hosted by the coastal town of Grado (Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy), located on an island and adjacent peninsula of the Adriatic Sea between Venice and Trieste, from 24th to 26th of September 2025

The workshop is  funded by FELs of Europe and organized this year by Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste and HZDR – Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, and it will take place at the Laguna Palace Hotel.
