The interdisciplinary and international research at LENS results in a rich training program aimed at both
graduates and young PhDs in all areas of covered research. LENS training offer includes an international PhD
School in synergy with University of Florence and other prestigious European Universities and a Post Doctoral
Fellowship program, both partially supported by the EU Marie Curie Actions funded by the European Commission in
various scientific disciplines and the European Erasmus Mundus program. Students and Post Docs not only have
access to valuable research tools, but they also participate in training programs involving broad seminar
series, including the prestigious Enrico Fermi Colloquium, given by high-profile members of the international
scientific community. Within the photonics research area a series of workshops about micro- and nanophotonics
for PhD students is ongoing. Each year several scholarships are available for students. Moreover, the active
presence of the laboratory in the Laser Lab - Europe II consortium, constituted by 26 large laser
infrastructures operating in 16 different European countries, provides a valuable opportunity for scientific
training and for inclusion in the research lines with the highest international importance.
