The Fellowship program at ISC-PIF offers research support for scholars who have recently received a doctoral degree and want to conduct independent research. ISC-PIF Guest Researcher Fellows pursue research questions of their own, with bridges to projects and themes developed by ISC-PIF. They engage in collaborations with other researchers from ISC-PIF, the Ile-de-France Region (Paris area), Europe and beyond. Fellows pursue projects that lie at

We present and illustrate an effective medium theory of the finite conductivity periodic finite wire medium (thebed-of-nails structure). It is constructed using a renormalization approach to obtain the system of equations satisfied by the electromagnetic field and the electric current in the limit of large wavelength-to-period ratio. The model is tested numerically and its domain of validity is characterized using full vector three dimensional finite

The Laboratory of Applied Optics (LOA, http://apl.epfl.ch/) opens engineers and post-doc positions in the Microvision and Microdiagnostic group (MVD, http://apl.epfl.ch/page12232.html) in the frame of a 1 year European Union project. MVD is a group leader in digital holography. The activities are developed in cooperation with other universities and industrial partners.

The Erasmus Mundus program EUROPHOTONICS financed by the European Community will start in september 2010. EUROPHOTONICS (see website : http://www.europhotonics.org) is divided in two parts : MASTER and DOCTORATE in the field of PHOTONICS. For the Master, the consortium is composed of the universities of Barcelona (Spain), Karlsruhe (Germany) and Marseille (France). For the Doctorate there is an additional partner : university of Florence (Italy).

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v461/n7267/full/4611028a.html Russia is taking the top-down approach to breathing new life into its research system. Among the various initiatives, there is one that Romania might learn from: plans are being drawn to lay the foundation of "a second pillar of basic science, financially and structurally independent from the Russian Academy of Sciences", in an attempt to prevent the reform from "drowning in corruption
