The ISOLDE facility at CERN has as objective the production, study and research of nuclei far from stability. The facility provides low energy radioactive beams and post-accelerated beams. In the last 45 years the ISOLDE facility has gathered unique expertise in research with radioactive beams. Over 700 isotopes of more than 70 elements have been used in a wide range of research domains, including cutting edge studies in nuclear structure, atomic physics, nuclear astrophysics, and fundamental interactions. These nuclear probes are also used to do frontier research in solid state and life sciences. There is an on-going upgrade of the facility, the HIE-ISOLDE project, which aims to improve the ISOLDE capabilities in a wide front, from an energy increase of the post-accelerated beam to improvements in beam quality and beam purity. The first phase of HIEISOLDE will start for physics in the autumn of 2015 with an upgrade of energy for all postaccelerated ISOLDE beams up to 5.5 MeV/u, the second phase will increase the energy until 10 MeV/u. Plans exist of complementing the facility with a highly performing Storage Ring, TSR presently at Heidelberg in Germany. The addition of the TSR will allow the beams from HIEISOLDE to be stored and cooled, providing much greater luminosity and much better beam definition. In this contribution the most recent highlights of the facility and an overview of the approved day-one experiments for HIE-ISOLDE phase I are presented.
