The current LHC limits on the strongly interacting sector of SUSY, when interpreted in specific SUSY models, set strong constraints on the EW SUSY sector. These constraints may have a big impact on the planning of future lepton colliders, or in the searches for EW SUSY particles at the LHC. It may therefore be of some interest to study what are the features of SUSY scenarios where the LHC MSSM constraints on squarks and gluinos leave room for light EW sparticles, accessible to a first-generation linear collider. These scenarios may lead to characteristic features and signatures, which could start being explored at the LHC. Marco and Nazila will kick off the discussion about this theme, by showing some results of scans of SUSY parameter space.
