ILL in the changing international context

The Institut Laue Langevin, now operating in its fourth decade, has embarked upon a series of investment programmes designed to ensure a lifetime extending beyond 2020. Instrument and Infrastructure renewals as well as a Key Reactor Components programme are proceeding in parallel with the user programme. A plan to upgrade the user facilities on site is being embarked upon in collaboration with the ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility) and the EMBL (European Molecular Biology Laboratory).
