Message from the Co-chairs of ISUILS2025
The 22nd symposium was held in Splendid Hotel La Torre, Mondello, Sicily, Italy between September 14th and 19th. The opening session took place in the magnificent Sala Magna of Palazzo Steri, a historical setting which is a property of the University of Palermo. We were honored to have the presence of Magnifico Rettore Prof. Massimo Midiri, Rector of the University of Palermo, and Prof. Livan Fratini, Chair of the Department of Engineering. Welcome and congratulatory speeches by the Rector and the Department chair were followed by tributary presentations to the Honorary Co-Chairs of the symposium, former Prof. Gaetano Ferrante and Prof. Chang Hee Nam.
We had the first session “Attosecond science and its future” also at Palazzo Steri. The other eight sessions were held in Hotel La Torre. The presentations made by the discussion leaders and the invited speakers in these sessions covering the wide areas of rapidly growing interdisciplinary research fields of ultrafast intense laser science as well as the discussions that followed the presentations were all thoroughly enjoyable and stimulating.
A total of 12 posters were presented during the poster sessions. In the Sponsor’s Session, presentations were given by Spectra-Physics/MKS Instruments, EKSPLA, Amplitude, Japan Laser Corporation, Light Conversion, and SourceLAB.
We trust the attendees enjoyed the scientific program in the beautiful seaside resort of Sicily. On behalf of the international organizing committee, we thank again the invited participants, the attendees, and the sponsoring organizations for making the symposium stimulating and successful.
Sincerely yours,
Co-chairs of ISUILS2025 (The 22nd ISUILS)
