for EU to keep a leading accelerator neutrino program in line with CERN Council Strategy Document to improve EU infrastructure of neutrino accelerator sources EU infrastructure of neutrino accelerator sources ie CNGS, latest & most intense in 40 years or so at CERN by conventionalconventional (M)MW upgrade (Superbeam: CNGS+ …. ) or novelnovel approach upgrade (Betabeam or ʋ-Factory) while international context grows richer NuMI up & running, soon JPARCʋ R&D & DS increasing for novel and stronger ν beams an FP7 Networking Activity is felt crucial to pursue & enhance integration & coherence of all initiatives to assess & disseminate the knowledge continuing BENE line of successes (last EUROʋ Design Study of the three leading options above) with main deliverable its 2012 road map 2012 road map Final Scientific Report one year after completion of EUROν most likely time for new EU HEP initiatives

– Link & assess the experience of neutrino facilities, either operating – in construction- or study (Euroʋ)

– Perform the communication among the various R&D initiatives, both in the IA and in the wider community.

– Foster intellectual excellence, offer space to new ideas

– ensure the dissemination.

– Consolidate the community that will be sustaining these facilities.

cherish and promote consensus!

– Contribute, to the optimal EU road map towards both improved and new accelerator neutrino facilities.

NB Preliminary formulation, to be finalized by WP convenors and physics deputy.

The physics connection remains decisive in the neutrino sector, as it is for BENE. Objectives will be

1) raising wide awareness of the main experimental, phenomenological and theoretical progresses

2) bringing about a consensual evaluation of the physics reach of existing and of currently proposed arrangements of neutrino beam & detector type.
