Activities – Attosecond Chemistry

AttoChem netowrking activities comprise Work Group meetings, Action Workshops/Conferences, Training Schools and Short Term Scientific Missions (STSMs). Dissemination activities are realted with the Action website, newsletter, ITC-Conference Grants (ITC-CG), multimedia material and others embeded within the previously mentioned ones.
If you are interested in any of the activities already held, or planned, you can find more information below. Also, you can follow the respective links to get Information on how to obtain funding to visit one of the AttoChem research Groups (STSM) or to disseminate your scientific results in an international conference (ITC-CG).
The list below shows AttoChem meetings, workshops and schools, including denomination, dates, location, local organiser (LO) details, direct links to related documents and other useful information.

All these activities have been funded by COST. COST is supported by the EU.
