Accelerator science and technology is one of a key enablers of the developments in the particle physic, photon physics
and also applications in medicine and industry. EuCARD2 is an European research project which will be realized during
2013-2017 inside the EC FP7 framework. The project concerns the development and coordination of European
Accelerator Research and Development. The project is particularly important, to a number of domestic laboratories, due
to some plans to build large accelerator infrastructure in Poland. Large accelerator infrastructure of fundamental and
applied research character stimulates around it the development and industrial applications as well as biomedical of
advanced accelerators, material research and engineering, cryo-technology, mechatronics, robotics, and in particular
electronics – like networked measurement and control systems, sensors, computer systems, automation and control
systems. The paper presents a digest of the European project EuCARD2 which is Enhanced European Coordination for
Accelerator Research and Development. The paper presents a digest of the research results and assumptions in the
domain of accelerator science and technology in Europe, shown during the final fourth annual meeting of the EuCARD
– European Coordination of Accelerator R&D, and the kick-off meeting of the EuCARD2. There are debated a few
basic groups of accelerator systems components like: measurement – control networks of large geometrical extent,
multichannel systems for large amounts of metrological data acquisition, precision photonic networks of reference time,
frequency and phase distribution, high field magnets, superconducting cavities, novel beam collimators, etc. The paper
bases on the following materials: Internet and Intranet documents combined with EuCARD2, Description of Work FP7
EuCARD-2 DoW-312453, 2013-02-13, and discussions and preparatory materials worked on by Eucard-2 initiators.
