In-Kind Contributions
A large portion of the ESS €1.843 B construction budget will be realised by means of In-Kind contributions from European Partners.
An in-kind model on the scale of the European Spallation Source has never been attempted in a European Big Science project, and it will serve as a model for such projects in the future.
ESS is working with nearly 40 European partner institutions, and more than 120 collaborating institutions worldwide under the in-kind model.
As the success of ESS to a great extent depends on schedule performance, in-kind agreements are on the critical path. In total, about 30% of the €1.843 B ESS construction cost will be supplied through in-kind contributions (IKCs). Work packages actively under discussion with potential partners amount to approximately €385 M, 55% of the total estimated in-kind value of ESS.
IKC Agreements
These are the In-Kind Contribution (IKC) Agreements that have thus far been signed between ESS and its Partners. The agreements listed here have been approved by the ESS In-Kind Review Committee and the ESS Council, representing a total of
€222,689,058
