It is with great pleasure that we cordially invite you to join us for the Visit of Commissioner Mariya Gabriel to the Extreme Light Infrastructure ERIC in Dolní Břežany on the morning of 7 July 2022.

The establishment of the Extreme Light Infrastructure ERIC was an essential step towards providing researchers, industry and countries access to the world’s largest collection of super powerful and ultra-fast lasers for science.

This visit will provide an opportunity to recognise current achievements of the ELI Facilities and pave the way for further growth of ELI ERIC as the largest research infrastructure constructed in the Central Eastern European Member States, leading cutting-edge research in different areas of science, as well as breakthrough technological innovations.

The program begins for the representatives of European Commission at 9:00 CEST and all other invited guests at 10:00 CEST. In line with the attached program, the event includes addresses from the Commissioner, high-level representatives of the ELI ERIC Host countries, presentation of the ELI ERIC Plate and a reception. There will also be an opportunity to visit the ELI Beamlines facility during the reception. We kindly ask those interested to register for this.

Please indicate your participation by registering at this link, by 1 July 2022.

We look forward to welcoming you in Dolní Břežany to celebrate the next phase of ELI ERIC.

Sincerely,

Allen Weeks
Director General
ELI ER
