Facility Tours

Participants of the User Meeting are invited to take a guided tour of the ELI ALPS Facility, offering a unique opportunity to explore our cutting-edge research environment.

Tour date:

  • June 17, Tuesday (afternoon) – the day before the User Meeting programme starts

The tour follows a designated visitor route, starting from the Registration Desk in Building C and leading to the laser halls and research facilities in Building A.

The specific routes you can choose from:

Tour 1 (HFPW laser, SYLOS2 laser, MIR HE laser)
Tour 2 (HR1 and HR2 lasers, TAS, MDOS)
Tour 3 (MIR laser, THz facility, THz HE, NLTSF)
Tour 4 (NanoFabrication and RadioBiology labs)
Tour 5 (SHHG PW, UFO, ePW, SHHG SYLOS, eSYLOS, LEIA)
Tour 6 (SYLOS Long, SYLOS Compact, SYLOS Alignment 1 and 2 lasers, LIDT)
Tour 7 (HR Cond, NanoESCA, HR Gas, ReMi, HR Alignment laser)

Sign up by selecting two of your preferred tour routes in the Registration form and experience our world-class facility up close!
