• The Division of Laser Science (DLS) will be responsible for the travel expenses and honorarium of the lecturer.
• The host institution will be responsible for the local expenses of the lecturer and for advertising the public lecture.
• Recommendations to the DLS chair for host institutions will be made by the Selection Committee after consulting with the lecturers.
