7th FCC Physics Workshop
Laboratoire d'Annecy de physique des particules
Welcome to the 7th FCC Physics workshop in LAPP Annecy.

The workshop will take place from Monday January 29 to Friday February 2, 2024. Sessions will start on Monday at 14:00 and will end on Friday at 12:30, a preliminary overview of the program is found here. Lunches will be offered both on Monday before the beginning of the sessions and on Friday after the workshop ends. The workshop agenda is growing here. If you wish to give a talk, pleae get in touch with one of the conveners.
If you want to remain up-to-date on the FCC physics and experiments activities, please register to this mailing list.
If you plan to participate in the FCC PED Feasibility Study, you can register to specific working groups here, then click on Contact/Join us, Join us, Subscribe to mailing lists.
Previous editions of the Workshop:
A limited number of students whose abstracts will be accepted for oral contributions may receive an exemption from the conference fee, accommodation and reimbursement of travel costs (lump sum).
To apply for the support the candidate should send an e-mail to the PED coordinators (christophe.grojean@cern.ch, patrick.janot@cern.ch) with a request along with the PhD supervisor’s recommendation. The deadline for application is Dec. 15, 2023.
Registration for in-person participation is now closed, you can register for remote participation. Contact the organisers for any request.
