Virtual Access


Virtual Access is offered in the Work Package 2.
Virtual access to the resources of Theo4Exp facilities will be offered as free and open access through communication networks and will not involve any prior selection of users. On their first access to the facility, users will be asked to fill in a registration form and will get credentials to use the service. VA users are not required to complete the TA Confirmation Form.
Publications are required to acknowledge the EURO-LABS project: This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe Research and Innovation programme under Grant Agreement No 101057511 (EURO-LABS).

Research Infrastructures for High Energy Accelerators (WP3)
Research Infrastructures for HEP Detectors (WP4)

Step 2 – Experiment proposal Submission (if applicable)

Please follow the instruction in the Call of Proposals for given facility

Step 3 – Proposal evaluation and beam time allocation (if applicable)

The experiment proposal will be evaluated by the facility advisory/supervisory committee. You will be informed about the recommendations and about the beam time scheduling of your experiment, if accepted

Step 4 – Application for the TA support

The User group leader (spokesperson of the experiment) should fill:

  • the application form (Word, PDF) for transnational access;
