Advancing Academic and Applied Research through ELI-NP Engagement

MGM STAR CONSTRUCT SRL had the honor of visiting ELI-NP – Extreme Light Infrastructure – Nuclear Physics, a flagship European research infrastructure and one of the most advanced facilities worldwide in the field of photonuclear physics.

The visit was carried out together with the MGM STAR CONSTRUCT team, led by the company’s Scientific Director, physicist Arcadie Sobetkii, and accompanied by academic collaborators from Colombia and Spain, highlighting the strong international dimension of the collaboration.

During the visit, participants explored cutting-edge research platforms and technologies, including:

• Femtosecond ultra-high-power laser systems
• Compact particle acceleration technologies
• Advanced radiation shielding and safety engineering
• Applications at the intersection of high-energy physics and advanced engineering

A moment of particular pride for the team was the presentation of the physical maquette of the ELI-NP facility, designed and built by MGM STAR CONSTRUCT SRL, which was used to illustrate the infrastructure during the guided tour. This contribution reflects the company’s commitment to supporting world-class scientific research through precise engineering and design solutions.

The visit reinforced the potential for future collaborations in high-energy physics, advanced materials, radiation technologies, and scientific infrastructure development. MGM STAR CONSTRUCT looks forward to contributing further to innovative research environments that connect engineering excellence with frontier science.
