Description

The European Laboratories for Accelerator Based Sciences (EURO-LABS) programme advances research frontiers by providing unified Transnational Access (TNA) to leading European Research Infrastructures (RIs) in the Physical Sciences. It brings together the nuclear physics, accelerator, and detector R\&D communities to foster collaboration and stimulate synergies. With 33 partners across Europe, EURO-LABS forms an integrated network of RIs ranging from small-scale test facilities to large European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). The access provided enables research at the technological frontiers of accelerator and detector development, supporting the exploration of new physics concepts and opening new avenues in both fundamental and applied research --- from optimizing reactor operation to mimicking stellar reactions.
EURO-LABS actively promotes diversity and inclusion, offering equitable access to researchers across nationalities, genders, ages, and career stages, while strengthening Europe’s collaborative scientific landscape. EURO-LABS started in September 2022 and will conclude in August 2026. This contribution will present highlights of the project’s activities, along with notable experiments and supported research carried out at the participating facilities.

Funding Agency

EURO-LABS has received funding from the European Union's Horizon Europe Research and innovation Program under Grant Agreement No 101057511
