8th FCC Physics Workshop
Welcome to the 8th FCC Physics workshop at CERN.
The workshop will take place from Monday January 13 to Thursday January 16, 2025, with a satellite workshop on Friday January 17. On Monday morning, an Early Career Researcher session will complement the program.
The FCC dedicated sessions will start on Monday at 13:30 and will end on Thursday at 18:00.ย
We plan to hold a poster session on Wednesday evening, together with the Workshop's cocktail. Participants are invited to submit their proposal for a poster using the "Call for Posters" link on menu.ย
