Integrated Infrastructure Initiative for Neutron Scattering and Muon Spectroscopy

General Information

NMI3 aims at the pan-European co-ordination of neutron scattering and muon spectroscopy, maintaing these research infrastructures as an integral part of the Euroepan Research Area. NMI3 comprehensively includes all major facilities in the field, opening the way for a more concerted, and thus more efficient use of the existing infrastructure. Co-ordination and networking within NMI3 will lead to a more strategic approach to future developments and thus re-inforce European competitiveness in this area. NMI3 is a consortium of 21 partners from 13 countries, including 10 research infrastructures. The objective of integration will be achieved by using several tools:
- Transnational ACCESS will be provided by 10 partners offering more than 4000 days of beam time. This will give European users access to all of the relevant European infrastructures and hence the possibility to use the best adapted infrastructure for their research.
- Joint Research Activities focusing on six specific R&D areas will develop techniques and methods for next generation instrumentation. They involve basically all those European facilities and academic institutions with major parts of the relevant know-how.
- Dissemination and training actions will help to enhance and to structure future generations of users.
- Networking and common management will help strategic decision-making from a truly European perspective.
