History of CILEX-APOLLON goes with ELI 2005: Idea of an Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) by G. Mourou 2007: ELI enters PP and ESFRI roadmap 2007: APOLLON becomes a 10 PW laser project with 20 M state invesment 2010 : CILEX gets approved with 20 M as integrator of APOLLON 2010: CILEX/APOLLON implemented at l Orme 2010: ELI-PP Gives over to ELI-NP/ELI-ALPS/ELI- BEAMS 2011 2012? ELI-ALPS
