EuroNuNet: Combining forces for a novel European facility for neutrino-antineutrino symmetry-violation discovery The aim of EuroNuNet is to study the possibility of producing a uniquely intense neutrino beam from a 5 MW proton beam generated with a linear, as opposed to circular, accelerator and to direct this neutrino beam to a Megaton size underground water Cherenkov neutrino detector. The outstanding potential of this infrastructure stems from the uniquely high power of the linear accelerator that allows positioning the detector at the second neutrino oscillation maximum, located at some 500 km from the accelerator and neutrino target, where the sensitivity to the CP violation signal is about three times higher as compared to at the first oscillation maximum, where other experiments are planning to measure. The study of this facility will build upon the further exploitation of the experience gained in the EU FP7 Design-Studies EUROnu and LAGUNA-LBNO. |

FAST: Fast Advanced Scintillator Timing The aim of FAST is to establish a multidisciplinary network that brings together European experts from academia and industry to ultimately achieve scintillator-based detectors with time precision better than 100ps and provides an excellent training opportunity for researchers interested in this domain. |

FUNDAMENTALCONNECTIONS: Connecting insights in fundamental physics This project focusses on the interaction between collider physics, flavor and neutrino physics, astro-particle physics and cosmology. It will provide a platform to exploit the latest experimental results not only from the LHC, but also from a host of new facilities. At the same time the insights gained will be used to inform and guide theoretical endeavors, and address the most pressing questions surrounding the electro-weak sector, including its puzzling apparent stability, the huge hierarchies between mass scales, the origin of flavour structure and the origin of dark matter. |

VBSCan: Vector Boson Scattering Coordination and Action Network The main goal of the VBSCan project is to investigate the Vector Boson Scattering (VBS) process and its implications for the standard model. Theoretical and experimental efforts in this area are coordinated in the project with the purpose of laying the groundwork for long-term studies of the subject, while creating a solid interconnected community of VBS experts. |
