Official start of the FAIR Project on November 7 th, 2007 at Darmstadt with about 1400 participants

FAIR Start Event November 7 th, 2007

 We have a project under way!  Who decided to participate and has not yet started to work should start now!  Do not wait to get design drawings from somewhere!  You are the designer, producer, installer,commissioner!  JCT -later FAIR GmbH - is ‘just’ project management

Call for EoIs sent out October 10th, 2007

Status of Response to Call for Expression of Interest (EoI)

EoIs still missing from 21 Expression of Interests received so far !

WP 2.3 HEBT

WP 2.4 Super FRS

WP 2.5 Collector Ring CR

WP 2.6 NESR

WP 2.7 Proton Linac

WP 2.8 SIS 100

Call for Expression of Interest to participate in the construction of FAIR is a big success : The FAIR accelerator complex will be built by the leading experts of the FAIR countries! Something money cannot buy! Missing EoIs from: France, Greece, Slowenia, UK –Missing MoU countries most urgently invited to follow up the call, since we need to advance at the ISC meeting on February 18 th, upon recommendations of IKAB on January 8 th –Certain overlap of interests require creation of accelerator consortia, e.g. p- Linac, NESR, Super-FRS etc.. –Next steps.....

2 nd FAIR institutes meeting

Next Steps: Detailing of EoIs in upcoming meeting and weeks, especially identification of persons in charge, better specification of items, collaborations active collaboration with international FAIR partners  strengthening the FAIR project and the FAIR JCT by detaching people to Darmstadt. Preparation of Technical Design Reports Setting up of Machine Advisory Committee Drafting of contracts where possible ISC meeting 19th of February 2008 Final Act by FAIR countries’ governments Creation of FAIR GmbH early Summer of 2008 Staffing of managing director positions But above all that: Continue or get started with the FAIR accelerator projects you want to work on!
