Open lectures for PhD students and young scientists -- every yearThe following lectures are primarily intended for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows. Guests are welcome. Colleagues, practitioners, high school instructors, PhD student from other Countries, and hobbyists with personal or professional motivations may like to learn these things. Time zone. All schedules refer to Central Eurpoean Time (paris/Berlin/Madrid/Rome). This is UT+1 in Winter, and UT+2 with daylight saving time. Beware that not all Countries switch at the same time. Language. All lectures are in English, and all the learning material is in English as well.
Hybrid in-person and online lectures.
Restrictions. Sadly, new collaborations with some Countries are forbidden. The list, not disclosed here, is tiny. Residents in one of such Countries, or affiliated to a Company/University located there, are not allowed to attend class/online lectures. In case of doubt, a proof may be required.
Registration is required.

Time and Frequency, Instrumentation, and Metrology (3×7.5 hours)Option A (recommended): The full package (Part 1, 2 and 3, 21.5 hours)Take Part 1, 2 and 3 (lectures 1-15) to get the secrets of oscillators, together with the foundations of the science of measurement. Option B: Oscillators, frequency stability and noise (Part 1-2, 15 hours)Take Part 1 and 2 (lectures 1-10) if you need to know the secrets of stable and low-noise oscillators, how they can be measured, and the systems they belong to. These lectures derive from seminars given at the Tutorial Session of international conferences of time and frequency, and from invited seminars. This option is a must for all the PhD students and young research fellows working on a topic broadly related to time and frequency, including optics and astronomy. Option C: Scientific instruments (Part 1 and 3, 15 hours)Take Part 1 and 3 (lectures 1-5 and 11-15) if you are interested in precision measurements, in the subtle meaning of uncertainty, and in the nature of the measurement units we use in all domains of science. This option is a must for young experimentalists (PhD students and postdoctoral fellows) in engineering and physics. The first part is about experimental methods of general interest. The second part is on the new International System, of Units (SI), in force since May 20, 2019. Registration is required. See above in this pageMost recent learning material

The Scientific Publication (10 hours)How to communicate scientific ideas in journals, conferences and books, how the mechanism underneath works, and how to target audience and publisher. This course is a must for PhD students of all disciplines, and falls in the category of "humanities." It is open to a broad audience, including young Colleagues, Master Students, and Guests.
