The ESFRI Forum was set up 2002 by the EU Council of Research Ministers

- e-IRG- ESF

- ….

• ESFRI has identified new pan-European RI needed in the next 10 to 20 years, regardless of possible location

• 50 RIs have been identified through several review stages between 2006 and 2010

• Update of the Roadmap in 2010 in the areas Energy and Biological and Medical Sciences

• 10 of the projects are in the implementation phase

European Roadmap for RI

Criteria for entering the European Roadmap

• Proposal presented by Countries or European organisations

• Scientific Case: Uniqueness of the facility for the scientific

community pan-European/international dimension

• Maturity of Concept: technologically & financially feasible

SPIRAL2 Facility for the production and study of rare isotope radioactive beams

SPIRAL2 is a new European facility to be built at GANIL laboratory in Caen, France. The project aims at delivering stable and rare isotope beams with intensities not yet available with present machines. SPIRAL2 will reinforce the European leadership in the field of nuclear physics based on exotic nuclei

Construction costs: 196 M€Operation costs: 6,6 M€/yearDecommissioning costs: 10 M€

Example: EPS

ELI Extreme Light Infrastructure

ELI is devoted to scientific research in laser science, dedicated to the investigation and applications of laser-matter interaction at the highest intensity level

As distributed facility, ELI will offer fascinating opportunities to a broad scientific community, e.g. for the study of photonuclear reactions and astrophysical applications

Construction costs: 790 M€Operation costs: 82 M€/year (for all three sites)Decommissioning costs: to be estimated

Prep Phase Projects

sLHC Large Hadron Collider upgrade

The sLHC project (super LHC) aims for a tenfold increase in luminosity for 14 TeV proton–proton collisions, achieved through the successive implementation of several new elements and technical improvements that are scheduled for 2013–2018

The sLHC-PP project will address crucial issues like the maturity of new technologies required for sLHC, solutions for critical safety issues

Prep Phase Projects

TIARA Test Infrastructure and Accelerator Research Area

TIARA intends to integrate national and international accelerator R&D infrastructures into a single distributed European accelerator R&D facility

The elaboration of the means and structures enabling the realization of the TIARA objectives will be carried out through the TIARA Preparatory Phase project

Prep Phase Projects

ILC-HiGrade International Linear Collider and High Gradient Superconducting RF-Cavities

One of the main objectives of this project is to create at least 24 accelerating cavities, superconducting components made of pure niobium for the planned International Linear Collider (ILC)

Development of a possible organisa-tion and governance for the ILC as well as a detailed study on possible sites in Europe
