  28. Summary and outlook • The future of ISOLDE is bright. It will restart in June 2014 with the low energy program. • With more than 40 year of operation ISOLDE remains as the pioneer ISOL-installation both at the level of designing new devices and production of frontier Physics. • Post accelerated beams up to 5.5 MeV/u for the wide range of nuclei produced at ISOLDE will be available from Autumn 2015. • HIE-ISOLDE will be the only next-generation radioactive beam facility (as identified by the NuPECC LRP) available in Europe in 2015, and the most advanced ISOL facility world-wide. • Welcome to propose challenging experiments!
