The EPITA project proposal is a consortium of world-class excellence and multidisciplinarity, comprising 42 beneficiaries from 15 countries and international organisations, with a total budget of €21+ million, funded by a €10 million EU contribution and €11 million in matching funds. EPITA aims at integrating a series of technological R&D initiatives into a coordinated and vision-driven programme, aligned with the established roadmap implementation of accelerator RIs.
The project 9 Technological Work Packages are structured around key Thematic Areas - Accelerating Systems, Magnets and Beamlines, and Frontier Technologies —which are supported by 3 dedicated Work Packages for management, communication, outreach, and co-creation with industry. Its goal is to advance breakthrough technologies in conventional, superconducting and laser-driven acceleration, in high-temperature superconducting and permanent accelerator magnets, and in the development, additive-manufacturing and processing of advanced materials for accelerators.
The second Annual Meeting of the Project is going to be organized in Lund, Sweden, from 19 April to 21 April 2027. The project as well as the activities and recent results of the different Work packages will be presented.
