The 2024-2025 ELI Annual Report is now available!

ELI continues to advance with strong momentum and a shared vision for its facilities. This past year marked an important phase, as ELI fully transitioned into operating as a single integrated organisation, bringing together the ELI ALPS and ELI Beamlines Facilities under one governance and management system.

The 2024-2025 ELI Annual Report is now available!
 
The facilities have seen continued investment and progress. The commissioning of key systems continues, and new capabilities like the ELIAS large-scale optics coating laboratory and the Gammatron hard X-ray beamline have entered operation, as well as the attosecond and low-energy ion acceleration and neutron generation beamlines. These additions ensure ELI remains at the forefront of laser-based science, from attosecond physics to laser-driven particle acceleration and radiobiology.

At the heart of ELI’s activities remains the commitment to serving the international scientific community. The Joint User Programme has matured significantly, completing its 6th Call in spring 2025. With over 1400 users from 38 countries submitting 563 proposals of which 369 were allocated beamtine the User Programme is now a recognised platform. The more
than 200 experiments which have already been implemented are also showcasing the excellent science being performed at the facilities.

Summarising all these developments, the 2024-2025 edition of the ELI Annual Report is out now with insightful updates about the most important achievements of the Extreme Light Infrastructure.
