Description
The 7th International Workshop on Neutrino Factories and Superbeams was held in Frascati in June 2005 with nearly 200 participants. The most recent progress in the design of future neutrino facilities was described, including novel ideas in detectors, and many issues were raised. The International Scoping Study (ISS) for a future Neutrino Facility which would incorporate a Neutrino Factory and/or a high intensity Neutrino Superbeam was launched at that occasion. Built upon previous studies in the USA, Europe and Japan, it will aim to

i) define the physics case and a baseline design for such a facility including the related neutrino detection systems,

ii) identify the required research and development programme and

iii) perform comparisons with other options such as beta beams.

The highlights of the meeting and the upcoming studies will be presented.
