The FlexRICAN project unites three ESFRI infrastructures, three academic institutions and two industrial partners from Europe to bring sustainable solutions to large research infrastructures.
FlexRICAN will demonstrate how research infrastructures as electro-intensive actors can enhance energy flexibility for the European electrical grid and contribute to local heating networks through Waste Heat Recovery projects.
The FlexRICAN project reached its halfway point at the end of August 2025. This period proved crucial not only for the project timeline but also for the successful completion of several key deliverables and milestones. One of these deliverables is the Global Plan for Potential Exploitable Results (GPPER). As indicated
On the first day of the SPIE Optics + Optoelectronics 2025 Conference in Prague [1], my colleagues and I watched another colleague, Davorin Peceli, present our work on the digital twin. Among the participating organisations, there are no similar scientific operations like the one in the ELI ERIC. Frankly, there
The 4th FlexRICAN Consortium Meeting will take place in Nijmegen, the Netherlands, from 11–13 March 2026. The three-day event will be hosted by HFML-FELIX, a facility of the European Magnetic Field Laboratory. In addition, the FlexRICAN Citizen Engagement Workshop will be held on 9 March at the Huygens Building, Radboud
Can high-field magnets heat our cities? Yes, they can! At the FlexRICAN Citizen Engagement Workshop, participants can familiarise themselves with how big science can leave a smaller footprint. Drop by at 12:30-14:30 on March 10 to see the latest sustainable energy practices from the world’s largest facilities and provide your
The FlexRICAN consortium will physically come together in France for its 3rd Consortium Meeting on April 9-11, 2025. The three-day event will take place at Energy Pool in Le Bourget on the first day, followed by meetings at LNCMI Grenoble on the second day and G2ELab Grenoble on the third
