The NMI3 project is supported by the European Commission and falls within the action 'Research Infrastructures' of the 'Capacities' Programme.

In the EU Framework Programme 7 (FP7) all of the different activities related to a common type of Research Infrastructure are combined into this single project - an Integrated Infrastructure Initiative (I3). The Integrated Infrastructure Initiative for Neutron Scattering and Muon Spectroscopy (NMI3) is a consortium of 21 partners from 13 countries, including 10 research infrastructures. NMI3 project on the CORDIS Pages The objective of integration will be achieved by using several tools: * Transnational ACCESS will be provided by 10 partners offering more than 1400 days of beam time. This will give European users access to all of the relevant European research infrastructures and hence the possibility to use the best adapted infrastructure for their research. The access programme is currently only guaranteed for the years 2009 and 2010 * Joint Research Activities focusing on six specific R&D areas will develop techniques and methods for next generation instrumentation. They involve basically all those European facilities and academic institutions with major parts of the relevant know-how. * Dissemination and training actions will help to enhance and to structure future generations of users. * Networking and common management will help strategic decision-making from a truly European perspective.
