1. To establish and maintain a system for the effective and efficient management of the project.
2. To benchmark specific ILL instruments against instrument performance at short-pulse spallation sources in the context of the assessed future instrument needs of Europe’s neutron community, in preparation of the upgrade phase M-2.
3. To prepare for the production of high intensity ultra-cold neutron beams. To begin the fabrication and testing of cryostat, ultra-cold neutron extraction and magnet.
4. To plan for renewal of neutron transport systems, designing optimised shielding of neutron guide systems.
5. To explore and evaluate new concepts in neutron scattering instruments and technology.
6. To expand use of ILL facilities, encourage partnerships for science with research centres new to the use of neutrons, focusing on soft matter, extreme sample conditions and materials science.
7. To develop the site infrastructure considering upgrades to support new installations, to set up protocols for knowledge transfer, and to address financial and legal issues.
8. To plan new buildings and/or extensions undertaking a feasibility study and preparing plans for building work.
