The LASCALA Erasmus Mundus Joint Master offers advanced training in both experimental and theoretical methods related to particle accelerators, high-power lasers, gravitational wave detectors, and their applications in science and society. Developed within the framework of the European University Alliance for Global Health (EUGLOH) and coordinated by the University of Paris-Saclay, with Lund University as partner, LASCALA prepares students to contribute to and innovate within major scientific infrastructures—some of the most collaborative and ambitious projects in European and international science.
Graduates will acquire not only deep technical expertise but also strong transferable skills, meeting the growing demand for highly qualified scientists and engineers across academia, industry, and public research. Students benefit from strong partnerships, including CLPU, APOLLON Petawatt Laser, ELI-ALPS, and others (Find out all the association partners here).
The curriculum combines lectures, tutorials, and research-driven training, delivered by four leading European institutions: Université Paris-Saclay (France), Universidad de Salamanca (Spain), Lunds Universitet (Sweden), and Università di Roma La Sapienza (Italy)
The programme includes:
- An intensive summer school on managing large-scale scientific projects, focusing on the key tools needed to develop, implement, and monitor projects that address today’s global challenges
- A specialized winter school in one of the programme’s core themes — Laser-Plasma Interaction, Accelerators, or Gravitational Waves — allowing students to deepen their expertise in a chosen area
- A professional internship in an academic or R&D setting, offering real-world experience
