Project ObjectivesProject Objectives1. Definition and agreement upon the governance and legal form for the
Core Legal Entity (CLE) and for each Regional Legal Entities (RLE).
2. Design of a funding plan including contributions from national, European, and international funding resources. More specifically, a business plan covering both the investment and the operational expenditures for the first decade of service will be set up.
3. Achievement of a long-term commitment from the involved funding agencies will be obtained through the activation of discussion tables where the largest possible political convergence will be reached and formalised in specific agreement protocols and MoUs.
4. Definition of operational procedures with regard to deployed instrumentation, logistic intervention and maintenance will be defined.
5. Definition of a long-term strategy and choice of sites
6. Establishment of the engineering specifications for each chosen site.
Issues to be solved
• The diversity of regional sites in terms of available legal frameworks;
• The harmonisation of funding (national, European, international, industrial) with respect to scope, objectives, and timing;
• The logistic constraints regarding available resources, and environmental protection;
• Possible technical bottle necks for which currently no off-the-shelf solution is available
