Focus: Young scientists in the lab
Young researchers are key to the future of laser science in Europe. In this issue of Laserlab Forum, we therefore put the spotlight on eight young scientists from our community. They tell us about their careers, their current research and how Laserlab-Europe and Lasers4EU, including access to its facilities, have supported them along the way.
