  The ESS Normal Conducting (NC) linac is composed of an ion source, a Low Energy Beam Transport line, a Radio Frequency Quarupole (RFQ), a Medium Energy Beam Transport Line (MEBT) and a Drift Tube Linac (DTL). It creates, bunches and accelerates the proton beam up to 90 MeV before injecting into the superconducting linac which will deliver a 5 MW beam onto the neutron production target. The construction of the NC linac is part of a broad collaboration involving experts of various Labs in Europe. The technical chalenges and the collaboration strategy for the NC linac will be presented.
