[6-19 Mar 09] Raul Hernandez traveled to Pretoria, South Africa, to
participate as an invited speaker in the short Course titled "Introduction
to Laser Beams: generation, characterisation and application", organised by
Prof. Andrew Forbes from the CSIR National Laser Centre. This short course
is part of an initiative by the African Laser Centre to promote laser
research within the continent. Raul also visited the National Laser Centre
for a few days, the aim of this visit is to establish a close collaboration
between the Mathematical Optics Group at the NLC, leaded by Prof. Forbes,
and our group here at Tecnologico de Monterrey.

| [26 Feb 08] Raul attended the Winter College on Micro and Nano Photonics for Life Sciences at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) at Trieste, Italy.
The main topics
of the college this year included, nonlinear techniques (CARS,
STED, SERS, etc.), optics of and with nanoparticles, near field
techniques, and optical micro-manipulation (structured light,
tweezers). This opportunity that Raul had was of great value not
only for his career, but also for our local group in Monterrey,
Mexico, since it opens possibilities for research collaborations
with other institutions, and also motivates our efforts to look
for different strategies for the improvement of Science in Mexico
and Latin America.
