The mission of the overarching Facility Coordinating Group is to do the coordination and harmonisation between the ENSAR2 research infrastructures and also their PAC’s and thus go a long way in the spirit of the ‘Integrating activity’ programme through integration of the transnational access. Further aspects of the collaboration between the laboratories: Accelerator physics Radiobiology, hadron therapy and other applications Educational programme (e.g., Euroschool on Exotic Beams) International dimension

International dimension ENSAR2 will be able to provide transnational access to ENRI facilities to international users from outside the European Union and associated countries. This could be up to 20% of the total ENSAR2 quantity of access allocated to transnational access. The coordinator of ENSAR2 will contact directors of international large research infrastructures in Canada, China, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa, and USA to promote mutual collaboration on access to these international research infrastructures and ENRI facilities. The directors of the ENRI RIs with this ENRI agreement delegate the signature of the Memorandums of understanding (MoUs) between the international labs and ENSAR2 to the ENSAR2 coordinator. The MoUs would be signed by the various directors of the international labs and ENSAR2 coordinator in which the terms for access of European citizens to the international labs and vice versa will be recorded. The ENRI agreement is valid through the contract period of ENSAR2 from 1 March 2016 to 1 March 2020.

Purpose of the memorandum ARTICLE 1 Purpose of the memorandum The objective of this MoU is to establish a general framework of collaboration and project relationship, implemented by RNC-RIKEN and IA ENSAR2 to increase cooperation between the Parties in general and to provide a framework for establishing specific collaborative activities between the parties. The collaboration aims: to provide access to the facilities at RNC-RIKEN for European physicists and vice versa to the facilities of IA ENSAR2 RIs to Japanese physicists following the rules of the various infrastructures, i.e. approved projects based on scientific merits and feasibility, and to increase cooperation and mutual support between the Parties in general. APPENDIX I Each Party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses under this MoU, except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties. RNC-RIKEN will cover the daily expenses of European physicists, while performing experiments at RNC-RIKEN, according to local per diem rules and vice versa, IA ENSAR2 will cover the daily expenses of Japanese physicists, while performing experiments at IA ENSAR2 RIs, according to local per diem rules of the IA ENSAR2 RIs. In the case of IA ENSAR2 support, mutual spokesmanship for the experiments is required.

ENSAR2 is the Horizon-2020 integrating activity for European nuclear scientists who are performing research in three of the major subfields defined by NuPECC: Nuclear Structure and Dynamics, Nuclear Astrophysics and Nuclear Physics Tools and Applications. It proposes an optimised ensemble of Networking, Joint Research and Transnational Access Activities, which will ensure qualitative and quantitative improvement of the access provided by the current ENSAR2 research infrastructures. ENSAR2’s core aim is to provide access to nine of the complementary world-class large-scale facilities: GANIL (F), GSI (D), joint LNL-LNS (I), JYFL (FI), KVI-CART (NL), CERN-ISOLDE (CH), ALTO (F), joint IFIN-HH/ELI-NP (RO) and NLC (PL). These facilities provide stable and radioactive ion beams of excellent qualities ranging in energies from tens of keV/u to a few GeV/u and intense photon beams up to 20-MeV energy. Furthermore, the infrastructure ECT* (I) will provide a unique place for meetings, seminars and workshops to the community.

The Networking Activities (NAs) of ENSAR2 have been set-up with specific actions to strengthen the community’s work in Transnational Access Activities and Joint Research Activities (JRAs). They promote foresight studies for new instrumentation and methods, stimulate complementarity, ensure a broad dissemination of results and stimulate multidisciplinary and application-oriented research and innovation at the Research Infrastructures. They aim to strengthen the community’s coherence regarding particular research topics, to pool resources and to provide instruction courses to users.

To enhance the access to the ENSAR2 facilities, the community has defined a number of Joint Research Activities (JRAs) using as main criterion scientific and technical promise. These activities deal with novel and innovative technologies to improve the operation of the ENSAR2 facilities and make the most efficient and effective use of them. They are in general relevant to more than one facility and rely on strong participation of the European university groups. These activities involve all facets of operation of an accelerator facility.
