The GDR DI2I priority research themes are :

• R&D of particle and nuclear physics detectors;

• R&D of astroparticles and cosmology detectors and instruments;

• R&D of instruments in the associated application fields;

This includes the development of gaseous detectors, calorimeters, detectors based on semiconductors, but also optical instruments and instrumentation, possibly using specific quantum technologies (sensors). These R&D and R&T activities are based on the expertise and skills developed in the fields of electronics, mechanics, material science, instrumentation, command-control and integration.

The immediate objectives of the GDR can be summarized as:

• Lead and encourage detectors and instrumentation R&D and R&T activities, for application in the field of interest of the IN2P3;

• Promote the constitution of teams dedicated to R&D and R&T to prepare the production of the detectors for the experiments of the future;

• Encourage young researchers and engineers to get involved in R&D and R&T activities;

• Create synergies between the teams performing R&D and R&T and the technological platforms of the Institute;

• Interact with the IN2P3 direction in the definition and implementation of R&D and R&T activities, within the framework of the projects of the national roadmap.
