Introduction to PACRI
PACRI – Plasma Accelerator systems for Compact Research Infrastructures, is a EU-funded project to develop key plasma accelerator technologies for Europe’s future research infrastructures, such as EuPRAXIA and ELI Beamlines.
PACRI operates in three strategic areas:
- High repetition rate laser technology.
- High rep-rate plasma modules.
- Normal conducting RF technology for linear accelerators.

Key statistics
PACRI has been funded by the EU under the Horizon Europe programme for a period of four years, staring in March 2025.
It is a partnership among 18 Universities and International Research Laboratories supported by 7 Industrial Partners. The project is strictly linked to the ESFRI Research Infrastructures EuPRAXIA and ELI Beamlines, and to CERN.
The main objective of PACRI is to promote the development of new acceleration schemes and innovative breakthrough technologies for accelerators, taking energy consumption, resource efficiency, costs and environmental impact into account.
