AIDA-2020: Advanced European Infrastructures for Detectors at Accelerators

AIDA-2020 brings together 38 partners from 19 countries. The project aims to advance detector technologies beyond current limits for the benefit of thousands of researchers participating in the LHC High-Luminosity Upgrade, linear collider efforts and future neutrino projects, and to enhance the coordination within the European detector community, leveraging EU and national resources. AIDA-2020 will also exploit the innovation potential of detector R&D by engaging with European industry for large-scale production of detector systems and by developing applications outside of particle physics, e.g. for medical imaging. 

Coordinator: CERN, Switzerland

Scientist in Charge from CERN: Konrad Elsener

Full costs of the project: 29 M€ 

EU funding: 10 M€

EU funding for CERN: 2.3 M€
