Abstract: With the construction of the ESS, the European neutron user community islooking forward to the brightest neutron source worldwide. At the same timethere is an ongoing concentration of research with neutrons to only a few butvery powerful neutron facilities. These bright lighthouses mainly serve the needsof a limited amount of experienced experimentalists, but the smaller or mediumflux sources necessary for method development, user recruitment and usereducation, mere capacity, proof-of-principle experiments or operation ofspecialized instruments and methods seem to vanish.Responding to this situation the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science has started aproject towards the development and design of compact accelerator drivenhigh-brilliance neutron sources as an efficient and cost effective alternative tocurrent low- and medium-flux reactor and spallation sources. Such compactsources have the potential to fill the gap for the access of science and industryto neutrons and serve as local national or regional international medium-flux, buthigh-brilliance neutron facilities. The goal of the project is to deliver a “High-Brilliance Neutron Source (HBS)”, where a compact neutron production systemand a compact moderator produce a field of thermal and cold neutrons with highbrilliance that can efficiently be extracted in an optimized neutron transportsystem.With shaping the experiment from the source to the instrument detector adedicated holistic neutron experiment could be set-up to fulfill the differentscientific requirements in a flexible and efficient way at demand by the neutronuser. In order to respond to such requirements, we propose a novel type ofneutron facility on the basis of flexible compact accelerators with dedicatedtarget and moderator solutions for specific experimental requirements. A briefoutline of the project and the achievements already reached, will be presented.
