The Alliance supports detector development in several ways. The Virtual Laboratory for Detector Technologies (VLDT) combines the capabilities and facilities of a number of large universities and the Helmholtz Centre DESY into a virtual organization. It provides support for detector developments to the partners of the Alliance. Furthermore, the Alliance initiates and supports novel directions and new projects in detector R&D by forming new cooperations between partners and through seed funding with the aim to strengthen the participation of German groups in future particle physics projects.

Detector Project Board |
The project board closely follows the progress of detector related activities in the Alliance and makes recommendations to the Management Boards on issues of funding and the evolution of research directions. It reviews regularly the VLDT and the R&D projects and organizes detector workshops typically once per year. Current members are Lutz Feld (Chair), Alexander Dierlamm, Doris Eckstein, Ariane Frey, Felix Sefkow, Hans Krüger, Hans-Christian Schultz-Coulon, Stefan Tapprogge Projects and Assignment of "Referees"
