In-Kind Contributions
About 30% of ESS' €1 843 million 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 more than 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 M ESS construction cost will be supplied through in-kind contributions (IKCs). In particular, significant parts of the scientific instruments, the Target Station, and the Accelerator will be delivered as IKCs.
ESS ended 2017 with nearly €330 million in signed in-kind agreements, and an additional €220 million in contributions at various stages of agreement. The total of €550 million represents more than 230 contracts with ESS partner institutions.
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
€236 548 341
