DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Michael Benedikt (CERN)\, Frank Zimmermann (CERN)\n\
 n\nWe are delighted to announce the twelfth edition of the Future Circular
  Collider (FCC) Conference. FCC Week 2026 will take place in Helsinki\, F
 inland\, from 8 to 12 June 2026\, at the University of Helsinki.\nThis wil
 l be the first collaboration meeting following the publication of the FCC 
 Feasibility Study report. Aligned with the final phase of the 2025/26 Eur
 opean Strategy update process\, it will provide a comprehensive review of 
 the FCC study's progress to date and mark the start of the next project ph
 ase.\nThe conference will gather international experts from various fields
  of science and technology to advance ongoing design work and strengthen t
 he international collaboration for CERN’s proposed post-LHC research inf
 rastructure. The 2026 event is organised in collaboration with the Univers
 ity of Helsinki and the Helsinki Institute of Physics (HIP)\, as well as w
 ith the University of Copenhagen (Denmark)\, University of Tartu (Estonia)
 \, LUT University (Finland)\, Universität Rostock (Germany)\, Riga Techni
 cal University (Latvia)\, Vilnius University (Lithuania)\, University of O
 slo (Norway)\, University of Silesia in Katowice (Poland) and Uppsala Univ
 ersity (Sweden).\n \nProgramme Structure\nPlenary Sessions\nThe conferenc
 e will open with a day of plenary keynote presentations featuring distingu
 ished international speakers from science\, industry\, and policymaking.\n
 The Monday (08/06) sessions will provide:\n\nThe sharpened physics cases o
 f the FCC integrated programme\nKey results since the publication of the F
 CC Feasibility Study report\nUpdates on the local implementation and stake
 holder engagement\nProgress on subsurface investigations\nSummary of the e
 nvironmental initial state analysis\nA comprehensive overview of ongoing a
 ctivities across all study areas\nPlanning for the next phase of the FCC p
 roject in light of the EPPSU.\n\nA special plenary session on Wednesday (1
 0/06) will focus on Finland’s activities in particle physics and related
  domains.\nA closing plenary session on Friday (12/06) will showcase the k
 ey conclusions from the parallel sessions.\nParallel Sessions\nSpecialised
  parallel sessions on Tuesday\, Wednesday and Thursday will cover:\n\nPhys
 ics and Experiments\nAccelerator design\nTechnology R&D\nCivil Engineering
 \nScheduling\, Planning and Resources\n\n \nThese topical sessions create
  opportunities to forge new collaborations\, share research findings\, and
  build lasting relationships within the global particle physics community 
 and beyond.\nIndustry & Technology Day\nDuring FCC Week 2026\, a dedicated
  workshop and industry day will focus on the impact of Big Science project
 s on society and the economy\, with particular attention to the role of CE
 RN and the FCC collaboration in engaging with industry through the Interna
 tional Liaison Officer (ILO) network. The industry day will provide a foru
 m to strengthen ILO-supported interactions and to identify potential areas
  for collaboration between the FCC project and industrial partners. More i
 nformation here\n \nAwards\nContinuing the established tradition of recog
 nising excellence within the FCC community\, FCC Week 2026 will feature th
 e FCC Innovation Awards\, highlighting outstanding contributions to innova
 tion\, technology development and impact. \nIn line with its focus on the
  full lifecycle of large-scale research and technology infrastructures\, F
 CC Week 2026 will also provide an opportunity to publish technical\, organ
 isational and socio-economic outcomes in the EPJ journal series. In this c
 ontext\, FCC related science policy\, programme\, sustainability\, plannin
 g and organisation topics will be considered for publication in EPJ Resear
 ch Infrastructures\, a recently launched fully Open Access journal from Sp
 ringer Nature dedicated to research and technology infrastructures. Contri
 bution titles and drafts should be submitted with the FCC Week Indico site
 . A dedicated call for papers will be issued soon.\nFCC Early Career Resea
 rcher (ECR) Award 2026 jointly organised by CERN and Springer-Nature will 
 support young scientists and professionals who contribute innovative\, rel
 evant and technically robust work that supports the long-term vision of th
 e FCC project. Three prices will be awarded and each winner receives:\n\nM
 onetary award of 1000 euro\nSupport for publication of the submitted artic
 le as Open Access publication with Springer Nature\nCertificate of achieve
 ment\n\n \nCollaborative submissions are welcome and encouraged. Draft pa
 pers submitted via the FCC Indico site until 30 April 2026 (18h00 CET) wil
 l be considered eligible for participation in the award.\n \nPoster Sessi
 on\nResearchers are invited to showcase their work during the dedicated po
 ster session on Tuesday (09/06). This session provides a platform to prese
 nt results and developments contributing to the FCC programme\, including:
 \n\nAdvances in particle physics relevant to the FCC physics case\nProgres
 s in accelerator physics\, technology and infrastructure studies supportin
 g the FCC design\nOpportunities for exchange and networking within the FCC
  collaboration and with the wider research community\n\n \n\n\nhttps://in
