Brainstorming:

• CERN Theory: Collect feedback on future colliders -> present to ECR community
• By ECRs for ECRs: What colliders are there? What physics? How’s exp/acc. Research going on?
• Were informed on wish from RECFA: 
  • “Morning discussion” for ECR community (preferably one meeting): General overview about the options. What does the ECR community want? What colliders could we endorse/ not endorse? What are things that need to be considered? Polls/surveys at the end of the session
    • Scientific overview
    • “Social” overview? -> What do future colliders mean for ECR’s careers?
  • “Afternoon discussion”: Per country discussion on funding and country specific issues -> make a blueprint of a national meeting on future colliders: What topics? Who to invite? What outcome? How can we (the country) reach goals?
  • Rough goal: End of the year

Questions:

• Events in-person, hybrid or online?
• Target audience (e.g also accelerator physicists?)?
• e-Group for this WG?
