Active Calls

Name of the Call: 2^nd ELI Call for Users

The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) is pleased to announce the 2nd Joint ELI Call for Users. Scientists from the European Research Area and from around the world are invited to submit their proposals.

The Extreme Light Infrastructure is the world’s most advanced laser-based research infrastructure. The ELI Facilities provide access to a broad range of world-class high-power, high-repetition-rate laser systems and secondary sources. This enables cutting-edge research and new regimes of high intensity physics in physical, chemical, medical, and materials sciences.

Potential users have the opportunity to conduct some of the first state-of-the-art experiments at:

• ELI-ALPS in Szeged, Hungary (Deadline 25 April 2023; 16:00 CET)

• ELI Beamlines in Dolní Břežany, Czech Republic (Deadline 25 April 2023; 16:00 CET)

• ELI Nuclear Physics in Măgurele, Romania (Deadline 24 March 2023; 16:00 CET)

This Joint Call for Users includes all three of the ELI Facilities, thanks to a close collaboration between ELI ERIC and the "Horia Hulubei" National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering (IFIN-HH), and the support of the Horizon 2020 Project IMPULSE.

For more detailed information about the available equipment, application process and how to prepare your proposal, please visit: https://up.eli-laser.eu

Proposals will be evaluated by an international panel of experts and accepted based on scientific excellence. A webinar will be organised for more detailed information on the available equipment.

Proposers are invited to contact the ELI User Office [user-office[@]eli-laser.eu] for any queries, or in particular for technical questions about the available equipment.
