This paper discusses the present status of ion source de-velopment at KVI. Work is mainly focussed on increas-ing the beam intensity of the ECRIS injector and to opti-mize the beam transport and injection into the AGOR cy-clotron. The ultimate goal is to deliver a 1 kW beam of heavy ions on target. Recent progress towards this goal is discussed. We also present the first results of beam extrac-tion and transport simulations. In order to test these simu-lations and to improve the beam matching between ECRIS and cyclotron we have designed and built a new pepperpot emittance meter. Finally, a simple method is described to produce a low-energy 6 Li + beam using an alumino-silicate ion source inside a multicusp source.
