PURPOSE
1. Coordination of science, instrumentation and
training efforts

• Use of capabilities of different facilities for a
  coordinated approach to specific science and
  technology cases
• Integrating existing bilateral collaborations
  into an European network
• Common campaigns interconnecting and sharing
  available instrumentation and human resources for
  challenges in nuclear structure, nuclear
  astrophysics and detector technology.
• Producing and using extended data bases of
  resources available at small-scale accelerator
  facilities and increasing the community awareness
  of the capabilities of small-scale facilities.
• Coordination of efforts in ion-source,
  electronics and target developments.
• Organization of common workshops
• Exchange of scientists and engineers aiming at
  knowledge transfer

2. Preparation of joint experiments at the
existing LSF

• Common preparatory experiments for setups,
  detectors and methods to be employed at LSF
• Establishing more accurate calibration standards
  to be used in RIB experiments

3. Coordination of joint developments for ESFRI
facilities

  capabilities of SSF
  enabling the possibility to address
  various scientific issues
  through a coordinated
  effort.
• (Co-operation between the research
  infrastructures and the scientific community)
• Benefit to Large-scale and ESFRI facilities
• Commissioning of detector setups
• Measurement of precise calibration standards
• Complementary high-precision experiments
• Training of young researchers
