1. Status of ELI Beamlines

2. Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) in brief
ELI will be the world’s first truly international laser research infrastructure, pursuing unique science and research applications for users
ELI will be implemented as a distributed research infrastructure based initially on 3 specialised and complementary facilities located in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania
ELI is the first ESFRI project to be fully implemented in the newer EU Member States
ELI is pioneering a novel funding model combining the use of structural funds (ERDF) for the implementation and contributions to an ERIC for operation

3. ELI will comprise 4 branches:
New science, unique research opportunities
ELI will comprise 4 branches:
Attosecond Laser Science, which will capitalize on new regimes of time resolution (ELI ALPS, Szeged, HU)
High-Energy Beam Facility, responsible for development and application of ultra-short pulses of high-energy particles and radiation stemming from relativistic and later ultrarelativistc interaction (ELI Beamlines, Prague, CZ)
Nuclear Physics Facility with ultra-intense lasers and brilliant gamma beams (up to 19 MeV) enabling also brilliant neutron beam generation with a largely controlled variety of energies (ELI NP, Magurele, RO)
Ultra-High-Field Science centred on direct physics of the unprecedented laser field strength (ELI 4, to be decided)
