The ELI Ultrafast Science Workshop, held at the European XFEL, brought together researchers from the ELI Facilities and leading German institutions to explore new opportunities in ultrafast science.

The programme covered a range of topics, including:
⚡Attosecond physics and strong-field dynamics
🔁 High-repetition-rate experiments
🧬 Ultrafast processes in materials, molecules, and biological systems, and more.

Beyond the scientific presentations, the workshop focused on connecting ELI’s unique capabilities with the expertise of German research groups. Discussions highlighted clear complementarities in attosecond science, high-repetition-rate platforms, and advanced imaging methodologies.

Bringing these capabilities together is a natural step toward fully exploiting the potential of ultrafast science in Europe - enabling joint experiments, deeper collaboration, and stronger engagement with the ELI User Programme.

Thank you to all speakers, participants, and the XFEL team for hosting this event.

🚀ELI Austrian Partner Day: Expanding a Strong Scientific Partnership

ELI was delighted to meet leading Austrian institutions and industry partners at the Austrian Partner Day - co-organised with TU Wien -, to explore further collaboration in high-power laser science, advanced research, and shared EU-wide opportunities.

💡 The discussions highlighted Austria’s steadily increasing engagement with ELI: Austrian researchers have submitted close to 20 experiment proposals so far - the interest and potential are crystal clear.

Professor Joachim Burgdörfer from TU Wien offered a theoretical perspective on the research potential at ELI and noted: “A significant part of the science driving ELI has roots in Austria. Closer engagement would be a natural step, opening new possibilities for Austrian researchers and reinforcing the contributions our scientific community has made to attosecond physics and strong-field science.”
