Ultra intense electromagnetic fields capable of reaching the Schwinger limit are envisioned in near future experiments. This opens a new realm for the exploration of QED, where strong field effects can play an important role. With the goal of exploring the possible connections between these regimes and other well know strong field theories, such as QCD, IPFN and CeFEMA promote the mini-workshop in Strong Field Physics: from lasers to QCD, on June 25.
