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 130 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.
As of the end of 2018 ESS had nearly €370 million signed in-kind agreements, and an additional €180 million in contributions at various stages of agreement. The total of €550 million represents more than 210 contracts with ESS partner institutions.
IKC Agreements
These are the In-Kind Contribution (IKC) Agreements that have so 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
€238 136 341
