The Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia (MEC) trough the former Secretaría General del Plan Nacional de Investigación Científica y Desarrollo Tecnológico proposed in 1996 to the ESRF the construction of a multidisciplinary and multipurpose beamline as a Collaboration Research Group (CRG). The construction leadership was taken by ICMM-CSIC with the collaboration of other groups. The following table shows all involved institutions in this project.
