EURO-LABS FINE FINal Annual Meeting 2026

Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) hosted the Final  Annual Meeting FINE  (FINal  EURO-LABS) of the EURO-LABS EC funded project. This meeting followed the Kick-Off Meeting (KOM) held in Bologna in 2022, the Second Annual Meeting (SAM) held in Krakow in 2023, the Third Annual Meeting (TAM) hosted in CERN in 2024 and the Fourth Annual Meeting (FAME) hosted in JSI Ljubljana.

FINE (FINal EURO-LABS) meeting was the final opportunity for participants to comprehensively assess and share project achievements, deliberate upon outcomes, and prepare the final report to be submitted after the end of project (31th August 2026).

FINE featured a scientific presentation of the work done during the project. Posters were also presented.

Attendance was encouraged by all EURO-LABS members as well as users of the facilities, particularly students and early career researchers. The participation of financial and administrative staff from various EURO-LABS laboratories were also encouraged, to support the preparation of the final report.

Visits to two facilities on the KIT Campus North, KARA and Energy Lab, were conducted.

The Governing Board (GB) meeting met on the afternoon of Wednesday, July 1st.

Thank you for visiting KIT !

^{European Laboratories for Accelerator Based Sciences (EURO-LABS), a programme for research infrastructures services advancing the frontiers of knowledge, aims to provide unified transnational access (TNA) to leading Research Infrastructures (RI) across Europe. The programme brings the nuclear physics, the high-energy accelerator, and the high-energy detector R&D communities together to foster collaborations and to stimulate synergies.}

^{With 33 partners from European countries, EURO-LABS forms a large network of RIs, offering TNAs ranging from a modest size test infrastructure to large scale ESFRI facilities. The offered access enables research at the technological frontiers in accelerator and detector development to explore new physics ideas and open wider avenues in both basic and applied research in diverse topics ranging from optimal running of reactors to mimicking reactions in the stars.}
