Future Planning

Phase M-0   (2001-2008)

14 new or upgraded instruments, 40 M€ invested.

Phase M-0 is now completed. It has already provided significant advances: it has boosted the efficiency of the ILL’s instrument suite by a factor of 17. Not only can many experiments be performed more quickly, but we have also opened up new areas of science to European research with neutrons, such as the up-and-coming field of nanotechnology. [more]

Phase M-1  (2008-2014)

5 new instruments + 2 additional related instruments

3 instrument upgrades

45 M€ invested

Phase M-1 financed in part by the European Commission (ESFRI)

A number of preparatory studies are required for many of the M-1 phase and some of the M-2 phase tasks. These are being financed by the European Commission, as the ILL’s Millennium Programme features on the ESFRI Roadmap (European Strategic Forum for Research Infrastructure). [more]

The initial strategy for the M-1 (2008-2014) and M-2 (2014-2017) phases was set out in the "Future Perspectives and Opportunities for the Institut Laue-Langevin".
