Colleagues from DTPA prepared an afternoon program for children from the suburban camp by the South Moravian Center for International Mobility (JCMM) in Brno. The weather was not very good for astronomy, but even though the clouds arrived soon, the children could see how the solar telescope was assembled and how important it is to keep eyes safe when using it. The children also made a paper sundial with the help of a compass. The weather worsened so much that the children had to move inside, where a lecture was prepared for them about the threats lurking in the depths of space and why it is good to look for and study them.
At the beginning of April, the Day with ERC, an event for junior researchers took place. The aim of the discussion meeting for junior scientists is networking. Dr. Jakub Kelar from the Department of Plasma Physics and Technology was nominated as a representative from the Faculty of Science.
Since April 2024 for the next three years, CEPLANT center will lead the project COLOSSE funded by the Pathways to Synergies Call 2023 (Horizon Europe). COLOSSE connects Czech and Slovak research facilities in plasma-enabled surface engineering and boosts their potential for Horizon Europe and future EU R&I programs.
