Network of international Contact Points
In Lasers4EU, 29 leading laser research institutions across Europe provide access to state-of-the-art laser technologies and services from primary and secondary laser sources to a wide range of laser-based instruments and techniques. Lasers4EU offers unique research opportunities to scientists from academia and industry from all over the world. International users benefit from free transnational access to these laser research laboratories and further training activities.
Lasers4EU has built an international network of contact points. The colleagues involved will
- receive information on upcoming and ongoing Lasers4EU activities (calls for access proposals, training schools, webinars, second-hand equipment)
- distribute Lasers4EU information to colleagues in their countries and communities
- forward requests on Lasers4EU related matters from their countries and communities to me and my colleagues at the Lasers4EU office

Access to European laser laboratories
In the EU-funded project Lasers4EU, 27 leading laser research institutions across Europe provide access to state-of-the-art laser technologies and services from primary and secondary laser sources to a wide range of laser-based instruments and techniques. Lasers4EU offers unique research opportunities to scientists from academia and industry from all over the world allowing them to advance and accelerate their research work. Users benefit from free transnational access to these laser research laboratories.
Access is provided
- to a large variety of inter-disciplinary research, from fundamental science to validating a practical application,
- free of charge, including travel and accommodation,
- on the basis of scientific excellence of a proposal, reviewed by an external and independent Selection Panel.
The access routes have been tailored to different research needs, including standard transnational access for single-facility projects and a multi-instrument access route for users requiring access to different laboratories. During transnational access, users receive full support from facility researchers to conduct their experiments efficiently.
Lasers4EU encourages diversity in science, and particularly welcome new users and early-career researchers.
Young scientists can arrange a visit to the host laboratory before the access period begins to receive hands-on training (pre-project training) in using the equipment, experimental set-ups, data-acquisition systems and analysis methods.

Laserlab-Europe association
Laserlab-Europe AISBL brings together 48 leading laser research infrastructures in 22 European countries. The association is committed to facilitating the development of advanced lasers and laser-based technologies in Europe. The majority of the members provides open access to their facilities to international scientists through EC-funded projects like Lasers4EU, ReMade@ARI (focused on recyclable materials) or RIANA (focused on nanoscience and nanotechnologies).
Laserlab-Europe Expert Groups
The members of the Laserlab-Europe Association have established nine Expert Groups in very different scientific areas. These Expert Groups are also open to scientists at non-member organisations.
The groups actively coordinate the development of advanced lasers and laser-based technologies, and promote the efficient utilisation of advanced laser facilities by users from academia and industry.
Expert groups have been established on the following topics:
- Data analysis in imaging and spectroscopy
- Laser science for cultural heritage
- Laser science for health
- Laser-driven ICF/IFE
- Laser-generated electromagnetic pulses
- Lasers for clean energy
- Micro- and nano-structured materials for experiments with high-power lasers
- Network on extreme intensity laser systems (NEILS)
- Photoacoustics
Information on all Expert Groups as well as contacts are available on our website: https://laserlab-europe.eu/expert-groups/
If you are interested in joining please contact the Expert Group chairs. Contacts are linked on the websites.
Conference Calendar and Job List
The website of the Laserlab-Europe Association has a dedicated Conference Calendar to inform the community about upcoming events. Please share your online and on-site activities with me and we will also include them in the calendar.
Same applies for the job list on the website. The page is highly frequented and provides great visibility for your labs.
For events as well as job offers, please send a link with more detailed information (in English) to landgraf@laserlab-europe.eu and we will include it in the website.
