The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) is a research organization with the world's largest collection of high power-lasers.[1] ELI operates several high-power, high-repetition-rate laser systems which enable the research of physical, chemical, materials, and medical sciences.[2]

ELI is part of the European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC), where the official name and abbreviation came from: ELI ERIC. The organization consists of three complementary facilities,[3] as well as collaborations with universities and research labs across the world. One of the facilities is ELI Beamlines, located outside of Prague in Dolní Břežany, Czech Republic;[4] another facility, ELI ALPS (Attosecond Laser Pulse Source), is located in Szeged, Hungary;[5] and the third facility is located in Măgurele, Romania (ELI Nuclear Physics, abbreviated as ELI NP).[6]
