<div><font size="4">An Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) is required by the quantitative QCD studies of quarks and gluons. Accelerator physicists in US are striving to carry out the next EIC, that has 100x luminosity than the only EIC
in the history, HERA. The design of eRHIC, the Brookhaven National Labıs EIC, adopts a linac-ring scheme to achieve the luminosity boost. This talk will review snapshots of design challenges of eRHIC and explore the opportunity of new accelerator physics advancement
in this design process<font face="Consolas" size="2">.</font></font></div>
