  • CEA/DSM/INAC-SBT (Grenoble), Grenoble Cedex 9 
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 11 December 2014
    • Addendum signed on 12 January 2015
      • The scope of this collaboration is to specify the cryogenic infrastructure requirements of the FCC-hh and FCC-ee colliders, review of state-of-art and identify the present limitations and bottlenecks as well as study new architectures and technologies for innovative helium refrigeration above 4.5 K.
    • Addendum signed on 10 April 2015
      • The scope of this collaboration is to study new architectures and technologies for innovative, large-scale superfluid helium refrigeration at 1.8 K for FCC-hh and kW-range of superfluid helium refrigeration down to 1.6 K for FCC-ee while also studying efficiency and reliability potentials with the goal to reduce operation cost and increase overall system availability.
  • CEA/DSM/Irfu (Saclay), Gif Sur Yvette
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 21 April 2015
    • Addendum signed on 21 April 2015
      • The scope of this collaboration is to study beam dynamics for the design of the FCC-hh collider arcs and layouts, lattice integration and single particle dynamics. In parallel, the institute will also perform conceptual studies of dedicated magnet systems for FCC-hh experiments and detectors. Ultimately, it will perform comparative studies and developments of particle tracking detectors for FCC-ee.
    • Addendum signed on 20 October 2017
      • This work follows-up on the Nb3Sn high-field development programme started at CEA with the participation in the design and construction of FRESCA2 dipole magnet. It covers the realization of a FCC-hh short dipole model magnet designed within the H2020 EuroCirCol design study and the conceptual design of the FCC-hh arc quadrupole magnet.
    • Addendum signed on 01 February 2021
      • The scope of this project is the design of a full-energy booster and it's integration within the collider using a top up injection scheme. This work comprises optics design which will include injection and extraction region and beam transfer to the collider rings, and field quality and dynamic aperture at injection and during the ramp and collective effects. The work also includes the determination of the minimum acceptable injection energy.
  • CEREMA, Bron
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 21 January 2019
    • Addendum signed on 12 March 2020
      • The scope of this collaboration is the co-development of a feasible placement scenario of ca. 100 km long circular particle collider infrastructure with 12 surface sites applying an avoid-reduce-compensate approach as imposed by the environmental impact management law currently applicable in France with CERN, Swiss cantonal and federal agencies as well as external experts. In addition, this collaboration also includes an assessment of risk and identification and suitable mitigation measures that permit obtaining a baseline scenario for a construction project with acceptable residual risks. 
  • CETU, Bron Cedex
  • CNRS/IN2P3, Paris Cedex 16
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 02 October 2014
    • Addendum signed on 10 November 2020
      • The scope of this project is to develop territorial benefit potentials and work with beneficiaries and partners on potential local effects of the construction project and the long-term operation of the infrastructure in the region by building on the intermediate findings of other H2020 FCCIS participants and while being assisted by Cerema, CSIL, LSE and CERN. This will require the establishment of interfaces with regional industrial partners (partners EdG and DRRT-AuRA), stakeholders of different interest groups and host-state notified bodies, to develop regional development scenarios together. Using the impact pathways approach and value chain analysis, the H2020 FCCIS partners will perform studies of potential regional impacts.
  • IGN, Saint-Mandé
  • LAPP, Annecy
    • Memorandum of Understanding signed on 29 November 2016
    • Addendum signed on 20 June 2018
      • This project is carried out by CNRS/IN2P3-LAPP in the scope of the CERN coordinated EASITRAIN H2020 project. The goal of this collaboration is to support the consortium with experienced EU project coordination competencies. The project focuses on high-quality academic training at doctorate level, advancements of technologies in the fields of superconductivity and associated manufacturing processes as well as cryogenics and associated machinery.
