This mainly affects the UK .
The Photon and Life Sciences Committee of the STFC have opened an "open consultation" process. The context is:- "STFC is seeking to develop an understanding of how to address budget pressures from 2010 /11 onwards on the timescale of October 2009. The new advisory panels that have been set up have been tasked to identify the highest strategic priorities in their area, the big science questions over the next 20-30 years, the facilities/technologies that the UK currently has (or has access to) and the facilities and technologies needed to address the identified science questions."
