EuPRAXIA has placed itself at the forefront of efforts to make major scientific facilities, advanced technologies and research careers more sustainable. Prof Carsten P. Welsch welcoming the participants at the Innovations for a Sustainable Tomorrow Symposium. The Innovations for a Sustainable Tomorrow symposium, held at The Spine on 10 July 2026, brought together leading scientists, policy experts, technology companies and early-career researchers to consider how sustainabil

Professor Carsten P. Welsch, EuPRAXIA-DN coordinator and EuPRAXIA-PP WP2 leader, joined senior European research leaders in Brussels last week for a high-level discussion on the future of doctoral education and the added value of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Networks. The event, More Than a PhD: The Added Value of MSCA Doctorates, was hosted by the European Research Executive Agency on 24 - 25 June and brought together policy makers, university leaders, doctoral ed

The next seminar in the series will take place on Friday 26th June at 11am UK time. Aaron Rafael Liberman, Researcher at the Weizmann Institute of Science, will present his seminar ‘Towards Dephasingless LWFA. Aaron Rafael Liberman About the talk Laser-wakefield accelerators (LWFAs) have demonstrated the ability to generate high-quality, monoenergetic electron beams. Yet, efforts to achieve higher electron energies and improved accelerator efficiency remain limited by severa
