• ELI-NP's objective is to create a European centre for high-level research on ultra-high laser and laser-matter interaction.

• The ELI-NP research site will attract researchers, students, private and business sectors from across the world to study extreme light applications for the benefit of society.

• The site should also put Europe on the map of nuclear physics research using high-tech laser technology.

• ELI-NP is part of a research consortium that brings together 40 partners from13 Member States.

• ELI-NP is based in Bucharest-Ilfov region, but the project ELI includes two other independent research facilities: one in Hungary and another one in the Czech Republic. By 2018, ELI-NP will employ 262 researchers including 36 support staff. The research site is scheduled to be operational by 2018.

To be built in Bucharest-Magurele, ELI-NP will be one of the three pillars of ELI - THE EXTREME LIGHT INFRASTRUCTURE, along with the facilities dedicated to the study of secondary sources (Dolni Brezany, near Prague) and of attosecond pulses (Szeged). ELI-NP is a very complex facility which will host two machines of extreme performances.

ELI-NP will create a new European laboratory to consistently investigate a very broad range of science domains, from new fields of fundamental physics, new nuclear physics and astrophysics topics, to applications in material science, life sciences and nuclear materials management.
