FAIR Partner Countries
The FAIR accelerator centre to be built in Darmstadt is one of the largest projects for basic research in physics worldwide. Roughly 3,000 scientists from more than 40 countries are already working on the planning of the experiment and accelerator facilities. A large-scale project like FAIR can only be realized by intense international cooperation. Considerable advantages are cost reduction and the enlargement of know-how and scientists available for FAIR.
Right from the beginning in the year 1999 the FAIR project has been a cooperation of various international research and technical institutes. They mutually worked out first drafts of accelerator designs and experimental installations which have constantly been optimized. Several publications have been released.
On October, 4th 2010, the international owners founded the FAIR GmbH. A further milestone on the way to the future facility. The FAIR GmbH will coordinate the construction of the accelerator and experiment facilities. The participating countries will contribute their technical and scientific expertise to the project, in addition to their financial and in–kind input.
