Cost estimate: ca. 400 MEuro

• In Dec 2014 F4E-GB invited EU member states to express potential interest to Host, by June ‘15 meeting.

• Construction to start in 2020

Informal discussion with F4E and Polish Ministries startedRegional funds are reserved by the local governmentStructural funds possible

At the end of 2014 the Scientific Committee was established, with the goal to define a scientific case on top of the material testing goals.

Kick-off meeting od the S.C., Krakow, 6th of February 2015During the discussion following working groups and the SC liaisons were established:

First scientific workshop: june 29-30, Warsaw

A NuPECC support and endorsement will be helpful
