Abstract
Over the past years plans have developed to extend the physics reach of the RHIC facility by upgrading the accelerator and the physics experiments. With the extended physics program RHIC will remain competitive beyond 2008 when the turn on of LHC is expected, as well as advance our understanding of QCD by fully exploiting RHIC's unique spin physics capabilities. In this talk I present a summary of the tentative plans for future RHIC operation, the physics goals of the upgrades program and the necessary detector upgrades of PHENIX and STAR to achieve these goals.
