1. Choose your access route
Lasers4EU offers three routes to transnational access:
Single-instrument
For users interested in transnational access and looking for a suitable laboratory for their access project, from fundamental science to validating a practical application.
Multi-instrument
For users who need access to as many installations as required in different facilities, over several years if necessary. Requires only a single proposal for the whole duration.
Industry
Allows companies to access the most recent techniques and methods in research laboratories and to benefit from the services of the partner facilities of Lasers4EU.
2. Find a lab
To find a suitable laboratory for your access project, visit our partners page.
Interested researchers are encouraged to contact the Director of the laboratory they wish to visit to obtain information on detailed access opportunities and conditions. Access is provided on the basis of scientific excellence of the proposal, reviewed by an external and independent Selection Panel. Priority is given to new users.
