Upcoming Events

The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) User Meeting aims to showcase ELI’s scientific offer while engaging with the User Community to gain valuable feedback on scientific and technical developments and what services are most useful to support researchers during the proposal submission process.

The 2026 edition of the User Meeting will feature an engaging programme designed to foster knowledge exchange and collaboration. The interactive sessions will focus on key technologies, instrumentation, mission-based access areas, and other relevant topics, with input from experts across the ELI facilities. It will also promote new initiatives and collaborations encouraging fresh ideas and partnerships, in particular with satellite sessions on In-situ Intensity Measurements for Multi-Petawatt Lasers and Nano-Structured Targets for Laser-Plasma Interactions.
