EMRP project International timescales with optical clocks (SIB55 ITOC) will help prepare for a redefinition of the second, in terms of an optical frequency, by improving clock comparisons and benefit scientific space missions.
The school will be hosted by Istituto Nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM) with the collaboration of the main European metrology institutions and the academic and industrial partners of the project ITOC (International Timescales with Optical Clocks) and FACT (Future Atomic Clock Technology). The lectures will be held by leading experts from the European metrology institutions in the project and by invited speakers from all over the world, covering the hottest topic in frequency metrology and atomic frequency standards. The school will be aimed at PhD students, post-docs, young scientists and engineers of the field with a strong focus on training and education.
