How to request access?
You first need to create an account and profile in ARIA. This profile has the function of a CV and can be used for all your future online access applications. Remember to update as needed. You can edit your profile at any time in the dashboard. Please note: Team members can only be added if they have registered and completed their own accounts.
It is highly recommended to prepare the "abstract" and the full proposal text off-line before starting the submission. During the submission procedure, you will be asked to attach one single PDF file of the full proposal text to your proposal.
For applications to CLF, CLPU, GSI, LULI, FELIX, FERMI, HILASE, HZDR and PALS please use only the specific application forms provided at the respective institution's web page.
