The first Joint ELI User Call was launched in early June 2022 with ELI ERIC coordinating the assessment of proposals from all 3 facilities, ELI ALPS, ELI Beamlines, and ELI NP.  The significant increase in instruments and the anticipated research plans from User Call 1 to 2, prompted the development of a dedicated User Portal and a more streamlined process which was in full operation for the 3rd Call.

The Joint User Programme is expected to launch two User Calls a year going forward, in the Spring and Autumn period, with next Call expected to launch in March 2024.

The IMPULSE Closing Meeting will take place as an in-person event at NH Collection Brussels Grand Sablon in Brussels, Belgium, on 17 April 2024. Governing Board Members will have the opportunity to meet at their 7th Governing Board Meeting on the same date. The meetings will be an opportunity to present and discuss the project’s final results with active participation of all partners, representatives of the EC and stakeholders.

The ELI User Meeting includes all three of the ELI Facilities: ELI ALPS, ELI Beamlines and ELI Nuclear Physics and will be organised by their joint effort on 26-28 June 2024 in Prague, Czech Republic, hosted by the ELI Beamlines Facility.

The aim of the User Meeting is to update the scientific community about current and future research opportunities at the ELI Facilities. 

Further information will be shared soon.

The 50th EPS (European Physical Society) Conference on Plasma Physics takes place in Salamanca, Spain, between 8-12 July 2024, organised by IMPULSE project partner CLPU. CENTRO DE LÁSERES PULSADOS.

ELISS 2024 will take place on 2-6 September, hosted by the ELI ALPS Facility in Szeged, Hungary.

The 9th edition of the ELI Summer School series aims to provide young scientists with a comprehensive overview of the generation and application of intense laser pulses and laser-driven particle and radiation sources. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage in dynamic poster sessions and visit the ELI ALPS laboratories while making new connections with other students, speakers, and the ELI staff.

Last year, the school attracted an outstanding number of 120 students from 24 countries, including Poland, Germany, France, Italy and Greece, as well as China, India, Israel, Pakistan and Ukraine. As a result, ELISS 2023 was the most diverse in the history of the event series, offering opportunities to discuss and share knowledge in a broader range than ever before.

Let’s make it even bigger this year!
