Talent Academy – final round

On 2 – 4 November 2024, the final of the Talent Academy 2024 will be held in the ELI Beamlines Facility and HiLASE Centre in Dolní Břežany.

Twelve finalists, selected on the basis of an online round of the competition for talented high school students, will now experience the real work of scientists and engineers for three days. Every year, laser scientists search for an attractive topic in current science and technology, which they focus on with high school teams. During the autumn finals, the students will take part in a science project exploring the applications of quantum dots – miniature crystals often made up of just a few hundred atoms.

Talent Academy is a regular educational event for talented high school students organized by the ELI Beamlines Facility (The Extreme Light Infrastructure ERIC) and HiLASE Centre (Institute of Physics of the CAS, v. v. i.). More information are available at talentovka.cz.
