Project supported by:
ELI in brief
 ELI will be the world’s first international
laser research infrastructure, pursuing
unique science and research applications for
international users
 ELI will be implemented as a distributed
research infrastructure based initially on
3 specialised and complementary facilities
located in CZ, HU and RO
 ELI is the first ESFRI project to be fully
implemented in the newer EU Member
States
 ELI is pioneering a novel funding
model combining the use of structural
funds (ERDF) for the implementation and
contributions to an ERIC for the
operation
ELI – borne by the international
scientific laser community
Integrated initiative
Laserlab-Europe
30 national laser facilities
from 16 European
countries
National high-power laser
facilities world-wide
Ultra-high intensity laser systems
worldwide in 2010 (ICUIL)

A world-class research facility for
international access
After the implementation phase (2017 ff):
Joint operation under the European ERIC legal model
• Financially sustainable operation, based on consortium
contributions
• One legal entity, ELI-ERIC, governing the operation of all
three research centres
• Common policies for operation, access, data management,
dissemination, quality control etc.
• Operation of ELI as an unified user facility, open for
international access with world-class research
opportunities
