The aim of the project is create a European equivalent of the "Accelerators for America's Future" document. The European document will be entitled "The Applications of Particle Accelerators in Europe" and is intended for policy makers. As a result, it will be in two parts: (1) an executive summary, focussing on the main issues for each country and in the correct language; and (2) a supporting document in English.
The focus will be on applications of interest in Europe and for which technology developed for research can have an impact.
This meeting will be the start of the process and its objective is to bring together people who are interested in this activity and willing to contribute to it. It will take place in the building that hosts the Royal Academy of Engineering in central London, Prince Philip House.
