The degree of maturity from both experimental and theoretical stand-points is such that a large European infrastructure for each branch is contemplated as part of the European Roadmap. The first one, HiPER-PETAL will be dedicated to fast ignition with the aim of obtaining a thermonuclear gain of 100, whereas the second, Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) could go beyond the relativistic regime to foray into the ultra-relativistic domain > 10(24) W cm(-2). In this paper we highlight the intriguing perspectives that these two projects will offer.
