European Laser Research Infrastructures serving Science and Industry

Project description

Towards a European virtual distributed laser research infrastructure

Laser technology has undergone significant advancements and breakthroughs, emerging as a crucial driver of innovation for various societal applications and products. Its contributions to economic growth and the resolution of health, environmental and energy challenges are substantial. In this context, the EU-funded Lasers4EU project aims to establish a virtual distributed laser research infrastructure by integrating major European laser research facilities. This infrastructure will offer academic and industrial users access to high-end instruments and scientific capabilities. The project seeks to bolster Europe's leading position and competitiveness by coordinating laser research activities, restructuring the European landscape of laser research infrastructure and enhancing European human resources in the field of laser science.

Objective

Lasers4EU is incorporating the major laser research infrastructures, in a large number of European member states, into a comprehensive virtual distributed laser research infrastructure that is offering to a broad user community, from academia and industry, access to an exceptional portfolio of technical and scientific capabilities.
This unique set of instruments together with the specific scientific expertise at the host facilities allows Lasers4EU users to carry out high-level research in an extremely wide range of high-impact topics in life sciences, materials nano-processing, etc. Laser technology has experienced remarkable advances and breakthroughs and is now a key innovation driver for highly diversified societal applications and products, thereby substantially contributing to economic growth and to solving challenges in the areas of health, environment and energy. Through its strategic approach, Lasers4EU aims to strengthen Europe’s leading position and competitiveness. It facilitates long-term coordination of the laser research activities within the European Research Area and provides concerted and efficient services to scientific, industrial and medical researchers.
The main objectives of Lasers4EU are to:
• provide coordinated access to high-quality services based on a coherent and comprehensive consortium of 27 leading European laser installations offering to users from academia as well as from industry cutting-edge performances at the forefront of the laser technologies,
• structure the European landscape of laser Research Infrastructure through enhanced access, extended geographical coverage, novel science diplomacy activities, improved synergies with other European networks and projects,
• increase European human resources in the field of laser science by implementing training activities towards researchers from new domains of science and technology and from geographical regions where laser communities are still less developed.
