News & updates for users

Proposals can be submitted all year, with deadlines in February and September.

Next proposal deadline will be on  Monday 15 September 2025 (midnight, CET).

Submit your proposal via the User Club. Check for more detailed information.

The proposals evaluation will take place on 4-5 November 2025. Final results will be communicated to all proposers after the national balance adjustment, from 24 November.
Scientific excellence is the primary evaluation criterion. However, providing complete and detailed information at the time of submission is highly beneficial, as additional factors—such as industrial relevance, the presence or absence of experimental reports, the proposer’s publication track record, or links to PhD projects—may also influence the assessment either positively or negatively.
