European Strategy for Particle Physics
"In its last meeting, the CERN Council formally launched the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, a two-year process involving the whole community and aiming at developing a common vision for the future of particle physics in Europe"
The particle-physics community across universities, laboratories and national institutes have been invited to submit written input (by 18 December 2018). This exercise will be followed by a Scientific Open Symposium (to be held in Granada, Spain, from 13 to 16 May 2019) where the community is invited to debate the future orientation of European particle physics. This event will lead to the writing of a “briefing book” and to a Strategy Drafting Session that will take place in Bad Honnef, Germany, from 20 to 24 January 2020. The process is expected to be concluded in May 2020, with the approval of the updated strategy by CERN’s Council.
Strategic planning in European particle physics is an open, inclusive and evidence-driven process and takes into account the worldwide particle physics landscape and developments in related fields. “The European Strategy process is essential to maintain Europe’s unique leading position in the worldwide advancement of high-energy physics throughout the century,” added the President of the CERN Council, Sijbrand de Jong.
