On Wednesday, 25 September, the National Photonics Initiative hosted the U.S.-ELI (Extreme Light Infrastructure) Joint Workshop in Washington, DC. The meeting was attended by leaders from academia, laboratory, and government from the U.S. and Europe, including from the three ELI facilities in the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Romania. The participants explored opportunities for collaboration between US and ELI researchers. The meeting was organized by the U.S. Department of State and facilitated by the NPI, with partial funding support from the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. National Science Foundation.
