About us
Three annual meetings were held (2009 in Trieste, 2010 in Döllnsee near Berlin and 2011 in Berlin) where recent developments in the field were presented and the status and planning of IRUVX-PP were discussed.
The meeting in 2009 was accompanied by two technical workshops, the one in 2010 was preceded by an industry workshop and a directors meeting on which the mission and core activities, the membership and the basic structure of the consortium were agreed.
With the 3rd Annual Meeting 2011 IRUVX-PP was finalised. The current status of the FEL/SPS projects in Europe were presented as well as the results of the work packages and highlights in FEL science and technology. Future activities and expectations on the EuroFEL collaboration were discussed in detail.
About EuroFEL
EuroFEL is part of the ESFRI Roadmap since 2006. The preparatory phase of EuroFEL (IRUVX-PP) prepared the establishment of the EuroFEL Consortium to link FEL & SPS facilities in Europe closer together. IRUVX-PP has been funded by the European Commission under FP7 from April 2008 to March 2011.

IRUVX-PP – the preparatory phase of the EuroFEL consortium
IRUVX-PP is the preparatory project to support the foundation of the EuroFEL Consortium. It has been funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme for a period of three years, starting 1st April 2008 and ending 31st March 2011. The EuroFEL Consortium is one of the projects of the first European roadmap for new, large-scale Research Infrastructures, the so-called ESFRI Roadmap 2006, and aims to foster the collaboration of FEL and SPS sources and to support novel and wide-ranging studies of matter by a large science community.
IRUVX-PP partners have been DESY and HZB (Germany), Elettra and INFN (Italy), Max-lab (Sweden), STFC (UK) and PSI (Switzerland). SOLEIL (France) and IPJ (Poland) have been potential partners and have participated as observers.
Six work packages (WP1-6) took care of “non-technical” work including the development of a suitable organisational and governance structure of the future consortium. WP7 and WP8 carried out joint technical developments and associated training activities. The project has greatly benefited from active exchange with other ESFRI Roadmap projects which have been dealing with similar issues and with a special EU legal framework for a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) that has become available in June 2009
