There are presently three initiatives for a hadron-lepton collider in the world: eRHIC at BNL, ELIC at JLab (both part of the EIC collaboration), and LHeC at CERN. This talk presents the status of these initiatives and compares their different thrusts in physics research as well as in their approach to the facility design, pointing out the strengths and limits of each particular proposal.
