EMMA is the world's first non-scaling fixed field alternating gradient accelerator and is being constructed at the STFC Daresbury Laboratory. Experience from the initial commissioning phases (from early 2010) will be reported and lessons for future machines of a similar type will be discussed. The present experimental status and future plans will also be reported.

By providing an extremely intense source of neutrinos from the decays of muons in a storage ring, a Neutrino Factory will provide the opportunity for precision measurements and searches for new physics amongst neutrino interactions. An active international collaboration is addressing the many technical challenges that must be met before the design for a Neutrino Factory can be finalized. An overview of the accelerator complex and the current international R&D program will be presented, and the key technical issues will be discussed.
