Dear all,
the second edition of ECCTI is scheduled for January 2022 ! This one-week conference organised by young ion trappers for young ion trappers, is an important event to present, interact, learn, discuss, with other researchers in the field. The COST Action happily supports this initiative. For details see the link below.
