Abstract: The Jülich Centre for Neutron Science is working on the project to develop, design and demonstrate anaccelerator driven high-brilliance neutron source (HBS) as an efficient and cost-effective alternative tocurrent low- and medium-flux reactor and spallation sources. The HBS comprises a high current protonacceleratorwith an energy of 70 MeV and a beam current of 100 mA, a compact neutron target of 100 kWpower, sophisticated cold and thermal moderator systems and an optimized neutron transport system toprovide thermal and cold neutrons with high brilliance for a full suite of epithermal, thermal and coldinstruments.The project offers construction of a scalable neutron source fora user facility with open access and serviceaccording to the various and changing demand of its communities. Embedded within an internationalcollaboration with partners from Germany, Europe and Japan the Jülich HBS project offers best flexiblesolutions to the scientific and industrial users. The overall conceptual design of HBS was published in arecent report.We will present the current status of the project, progress and next steps regarding accelerator, target,moderators and beam delivery development, milestones and the vision for the realization of such a facility.
