Work Package 2 – International Coordination and New Partners
WP LEADERS: Fanny Farget, IN2P3 and Pascal Debu, CEA

The WP2 – International Coordination and New Partners will use this new legal opportunity to enlarge the GANIL membership to include academic and/or private institutions. Looking for new partnerships will be based on longstanding collaborations of GANIL with numerous institutions worldwide.

The other priority countries are Poland, Italy, Romania, Belgium, and Sweden in Europe, India and U.S.A. abroad. Other collaborating countries will be approached in a second stage.
