Great Britain have sent 13 athletes to Turkey with multiple qualification places for Rio on offer for both men and women – although for the women there is another chance to qualify at the World Championships in Astana, Kazakhstan in May.
And Adams, who could bag a hat-trick of titles this year, is intent on sorting out her summer plans early on.
"I want to do it first time round, I don't want to mess about," she told BBC Sport.
"I want to qualify at the Europeans next week. To think that I could be European, World and Olympic champion in the same year is absolutely epic.
"It's that little piece of history that is my motivation."
