Future large-scale facilities for research are very much under discussion
in Europe. This results, of course, on the one hand from the discussions
in the science communities and their identification of new frontiers in
research; but it also reflects to a certain degree the trend to pool
resources among the countries towards what has been labeled the “European
Research Area”.
In the field of nuclear physics and/or its intersections with particle
physics, several such efforts have been under consideration or are
underway. This applies to the study of the subnuclear degrees of freedom
of the strong interaction system(s) as well as to the extremes of the
atomic nucleus as the many-body system of the strong force.
In this talk an attempt is made to summarize the present status and
future plans, with emphasis on the facility concepts and their demands on
accelerator technology and development
