Summer Programs

Each summer there will be a workshop dedicated to PIRE-ECCI collaborative research and findings. Alternating between Santa Barbara and China, the workshops will highlight collaborative research projects conducted overseas during extended research visits by our scientists in China, as well as continued efforts and reverse XRVs here on campus. They will be augmented by plenary speakers from all over the world, presenting their research in forefront science in the field. Individual web pages will be dedicated to upcoming summer workshops and posted by links below.
