The European Cluster of Advanced Laser Light Sources

The aim of EUCALL is to support the efficient implementation and operation of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI) advanced laser light source projects ELI and European XFEL, and to initiate a process assuring that the ensemble of Advanced Laser Light Research Infrastructures (ALL-RIs) is optimally used and further developed for science and innovation in Europe.

This aim is translated into three major goals:

-To develop and implement cross-cutting services for the photon-oriented ESFRI projects in order to support their efficient implementation and operation.

-To optimize the use of the ALL-RIs in Europe by efficient resource management and enhanced interoperability, ensuring global competitiveness.

-To stimulate and support common long-term strategies and research policies for the application of laser-like short-wavelength radiation in science and innovation.

This project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 654220.

EUCALL is a network between leading large-scale user facilities for free-electron laser, synchrotron and optical laser radiation and their users. Under EUCALL, they work together on their common methodologies and research opportunities, and develop tools to sustain this interaction in the future. EUCALL has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and involves 11 partners from nine countries as well as the networks Laserlab Europe and FELs of Europe during the project period 2015 to 2018.
