Particle accelerator facilities are furthering scientific research, significantly advancing fields such as particle physics. Advanced R&D facilities are challenging and costly to build and EU funding has supported the creation of a broad formal Consortium that integrates the European leading partners and their high-end facilities.
The EU-funded project TIARA (Test infrastructure and accelerator research area) was established to facilitate and optimize the accelerator research and development (R&D) effort in the field of accelerator science and technology in Europe in a sustainable manner by integrating national and international relevant R&D infrastructures. To this end, it has created a Consortium of European research institutes operating significant accelerator R&D infrastructures and a Memorandum of Understanding has been signed by all members.
