SAC Recommendations Horizon 2020 • Rec 23. SAC considers that realistic expectations on medical applications, eg. Hadron therapy, shall be presented. • Rec 24. SAC supports the activities to further foster Eu. PRAXIA in different conferences, especially at laser conferences to stimulate the interest for laser challenges. • Rec 25. SAC recommends to add outreach in social media such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. … and consider that STEM disciplines for girls are important to be further promoted within the Eu. PRAXIA outreach efforts. Ricardo Torres – 3 rd Yearly Meeting Eu. PRAXIA 15
