CALIBRA is the acronym for a National Research Infrastructure hosted by the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (INPP) at the National Centre for Scientific Research “Demokritos” in Athens, Greece. It was established through the CALIBRA project, co-financed by Greece and the European Union. This project has enabled the development of open-access facilities equipped with state-of-the-art setups, which are now available to the scientific community for research and development activities. These facilities support high-level excellence and provide analytical services with significant socioeconomic impact. This article presents an overview of these setups and their achievements.
