An introduction and overview is given on the development of the LHeC project at CERN, its physics motivation and the concepts for the accelerator, based on the LHC combined with a new 60 GeV energy recovery linear electron beam, and for a detector for precision deep inelastic scattering measurements. The LHeC is designed for synchronous operation with the LHC in its high luminosity phase of operation.
