Pushing the Boundaries of Science Through International Collaboration
ELI Beamlines is building on a successful partnership with Swiss institutions and taking it to the next level. This project connects world-class research and technological expertise with the goal of expanding joint activities and engaging a broader network of organizations with complementary research, development, and innovation capabilities.

Technologies That Shape the Future of Experiments
The largest component of the project (WP1) focuses on developing advanced detectors and diagnostic systems for three key experimental areas at ELI Beamlines. These technologies are essential for precise measurements, data collection, and delivering experiments that push the frontiers of scientific knowledge. WP1 includes the design, development, testing, and integration of detectors to strengthen ELI Beamlines’ technological capacities and support the creation of cutting-edge experimental stations for users worldwide.
Partnering With Industry Leaders
Two renowned partners are contributing to this effort: Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), involved in all three detector development projects, and Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), which brings expertise to a specialized project focused on flash radiotherapy. The detectors will be developed leveraging PSI’s know-how before being installed at ELI Beamlines.
Together, we are creating technologies that enable groundbreaking discoveries and offer researchers unique opportunities to advance their work.
