The Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) project was launched in 2005 with the 
elaboration of the ELI Science Case. The detailed planning process, led by 
the future Nobel Laureate Gerard Mourou, was conducted under the ELI 
Preparatory Phase (ELI-PP) EU Framework Programme (EU FP) project, which ran 
from 2007 to 2010. The main deliverable of the ELI-PP was to produce the 
so-called ELI White Paper, which, in addition to setting out the scientific 
objectives, described in detail the sites and equipment to be implemented. In 
our presentation we briefly outline the main considerations underlying the 
White Paper and compare them with the infrastructure that has actually been 
implemented. We will illustrate the research potential offered by the pool of 
equipment in Szeged with the results achieved in the field of attosecond and 
few-cycle pulse generation. At the end of the presentation, we will briefly 
present our recent progress in the development of a laser neutron source for 
the transmutation of nuclear waste.
