ERA-NET for Research infrastructures Objectives

To contribute to the development of the European Research Area by improving coherence across Europe of such programmes/activities

To help developing EU Programmes and Policy for research infrastructures (Very important in relation with future calls in Particular for FP8 aligned with our needs!!!)

Eligible partners are only programme owners: National, regional, ministries, governments, Research councils, funding agencies who are all managing research programmes.

*IFA = Involved Funding Agency

The 3 topics of the Call

The topics of the Common Call are designated:

• (Topic 1) R&D on new detector technologies for nuclear physics: - Gamma and neutron detection technologies based on new scintillation materials and new photo-sensors (APDs, SiPMs…)- Silicon and micropatterned gas tracking detectors (GEM, Micromegas): low and high energy applications- Large-area diamond detectors for beam monitoring or timingThese technologies are important for the nuclear research infrastructures selected in the ESFRI list: FAIR and SPIRAL2.

. (Topic 2) R&D on EURISOL technologies: accelerator components, target and ion sources

• (Topic 3) Targeted action on nuclear structure and reactions theory
