Page Organization
Such a large-scale project requires a well-structured, methodical and efficient organization. GANIL works with its partner laboratories in order to achieve a common objective: to delve even further into the mysteries of nuclear physics research. SPIRAL 2 is thus an international project with great promise. The facility will be set into operation in 2012.
Page Partnerships
SPIRAL2 is the result of the technical and scientific teamwork established between several French, European and international laboratories.
Page The Agreement
Through this agreement, the different partners undertake to contribute towards the financing of the GANIL-led SPIRAL2 project, over a 6-year period, with a total construction cost estimated at nearly 130 million euros.
