Dear all,
happy to annonce that our project “Trapped Ions: Progress in classical and quantum applications” is among the 39 out of 422 proposals that have been approved by the COST Association (LINK). This Action lead by Markus Hennrich, and prepared by a small WG of M Keller, J Hecker Denschlag and myself, has received full score in the evaluation !
This is exciting news for all Ion Trappers as it will allow us to ramp up our activity and propose more workshops and training events, along with more collaboration actions in particular for young colleagues. We hope that the adminstrative phase for this new COST Action will settle over summer so that we can already announce activitiés during the ECTI conference. Stay tuned !
Best regards,
Martina
