About the STEPP Cluster
The establishment of STEPP – Science, Technology and Educational Platform for Photonics, Hungary Cluster – had been preceded by decades long R&D& I cooperation in Hungary. In the recent decades national Photonics and Laser Physics academic research has been hallmarked by the name of more cities and research institutions (the University of Szeged, the University of Pécs, the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, The Hungarian Academy of Sciences Wigner Research Centre for Physics). The high standard of research in Szeged is indicated by the fact of the construction of the Extreme Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source research facility (ELI-ALPS, http://www.eli-hu.hu)

ELI-Attosecond, Szeged
The primary mission of the ELI-ALPS research facility to be built in Szeged is to make a wide range of ultrafast light sources accessible to the user groups of the international scientific community, with special consideration to coherent extreme-ultraviolet (XUV) and X-ray radiations, and to attosecond pulses. The secondary mission of the facility is to contribute to the scientific and technological development necessary for the generation of 200 PW peak intensity pulses.

Kecskemét College
The College of Higher Education, Kecskemét, is at the centre of mechanical, technological, agricultural and pedagogical education in the southern-region of Hungary’s Great Plain. It was founded on 1 January, 2000 through the integration of three long-established, renowned colleges, also popular with students. Since its foundation, our institution has become open to innovation, reacting quickly and flexibly to a range of challenges. As a result, we have enjoyed unrivalled success in many areas.
