The hadron-physics community is preparing a project within the H2020 European Integrating Initiative in Hadron Physics.

The call INFRAIA-01-2018-2019: "Integrating Activities for Advanced Communities" will be open from 6 December 2017 to 22 March 2018.
The anticipated budget is 10 MEuros for 4 years.
Several European Infrastructures will play a critical role in ensuring Transnational Access : CERN, GSI/FAIR, LNF Frascati, MAMI and ECT* Trento.
Networking Activities (NA) and Joint Research Activities (JRA) will focus on experimental and theoretical developments including innovative techniques and industrial applications.
New possibilities are offered through Virtual Access (computing facilities, data base, computing codes).
Projects developed in European laboratories, taking advantage of EU funds to be used in non-European facilities, are also eligible for funding and can be submitted as NA and JRA.
If you would like to participate to this Initiative we invite you to submit a Letter of Intent containing the following information and limited to 2 pages:

- name of the spokesperson
- lead partner institution
- participant institutions
- research objectives
- estimate of the requested budget

 The deadline for submission is 6 October.

You will be allocated a time slot to present your project to the Steering Committee during a workshop scheduled in Nantes (France) on 31 October  - 1  November.
Further information will follow.

The spokespersons of the selected Letters of Intent will be informed about the choice of the Steering Committee before 10 November.  They will be asked to write over November-December a more detailed contribution, following the instructions of the Steering Committee, to be  included in the final proposal submitted to the Commission before 22  March, 2018.

You can register and submit your Letter of Intent on an Indico dedicated web site  "H2020 European Integrating Initiative in Hadron Physics"
                    https://indico.in2p3.fr/event/15056/

The registration is open for all persons interested in attending the workshop in Nantes, and those who wish to be informed about the submitted proposals.
