In recent years, the continuing development of intense, ultrashort light sources from the mid-infrared (mid-IR) to the extreme ultraviolet (XUV) spectral range has opened new possibilities for the investigation of the light-matter interaction in new domains. In both the IR and XUV regimes, molecules and clusters of atoms interacting with light exhibit multi-electron dynamics evolving on the few femtosecond (1 fs=10-15 s) to attosecond (1 as=10-18 s) timescale. Several investigations suggest that ultrafast multielectronic processes might be fundamental in determining the behaviour of molecules and clusters. The main objective of MEDEA is to create a network where ESRs will receive an interdisciplinary and intersectoral comprehensive research training in one of the major field of Photonics, that will be contributed by leading universities and research centers and by key-player companies.
