Abstract :
EUDET is an initiative supported by the European Union to improve infrastructures for detector R&D, in particular for the International Linear Collider (ILC). The project is focused on providing support for larger scale prototype experiments as well as on facilitating collaborative efforts. It encompasses developments for vertex detectors, gaseous and silicon tracking, and highly granular electromagnetic and hadron calorimeters. In total 32 European institutes participate in the project. 27 other institutes in Europe and abroad are associated members and linked to the progress and later exploitation of the infrastructures. EUDET is closely linked to the international R&D collaborations for a future ILC detector. The R&D infrastructure programme is described and some results of the R&D efforts are presented
