Experimental Period

The experimental period for awarded Call 5 proposals is April-October 2025.

Future Calls

ELI announces bi-annual User Calls in Spring and Autumn. This pattern underscores the commitment to making the facilities available to a growing number of users. Accordingly, the 6th Call is expected to launch in March 2025.

The goal is to deliver a consistent user experience and facilitate groundbreaking research. For any questions or further information, please reach out to the ELI User Office at user-office[@]eli-laser.eu.
