EuXFEL - Germany
There is currently no open call for proposals. Since European XFEL had to schedule a Long Installation and Maintenance period during the second half of 2025, the next call is planned in spring 2025, for beamtime allocation in the first semester of 2026.

Call for Proposals for Run 25: September 2025 – February 2026
Submission Deadline: 04 March 2025, 4pm Pacific Time
We are pleased to announce the call for LCLS Proposals for Run 25. This Run will offer capabilities on the soft X-ray instruments using the beam from the new LCLS-II superconducting high repetition rate accelerator. It also offers a continuation of the existing hard X-ray instruments, with dedicated use of the LCLS copper accelerator.
