DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\nThe HL-LHC Collaboration Meeting will return to CERN
  in 2025\, marking the fourth time the event is hosted on the CERN site si
 nce the project’s kickoff meeting in 2011. The 15th HL-LHC Collaboration
  Meeting will be held in person from 29th September to 2nd October 2025\, 
 at CERN’s Science Gateway. As in previous editions\, the meeting will in
 clude a restricted session for the 15th HL-LHC Collaboration Board.\nThis 
 year’s meeting holds particular significance as it coincides with the co
 nclusion of the mandate of CERN’s current Director-General\, who has ove
 rseen the HL-LHC project since its official approval in 2016. Hosting the 
 meeting at CERN offers a timely opportunity to bring together the outgoing
  and incoming CERN management and it will highlight the project’s status
  as it enters a pivotal phase—transitioning from production to installat
 ion during Long Shutdown 3 (LS3)\, scheduled to begin in June 2026.\nA key
  highlight will be the completion of installation and start of operation o
 f the IT String\, a full test stand located in CERN’s SM18 test hall tha
 t replicates the left side of the HL-LHC insertion region at Point 5. This
  essential facility is designed to validate key HL-LHC technologies in a c
 omplete circuit setup\, paving the way for their installation in the new H
 L-LHC underground areas and the LHC tunnel.\nFinally\, this year will also
  see the transition of project leadership\, with Oliver Brüning being new
 ly appointed Director for Accelerators and Technology at CERN\, with effec
 t from 1st January 2026.\nThe programme includes a Welcome Drink on Monday
  29th September\, a site visit to the IT String and the new HL-LHC galleri
 es at Point 1\, and a collaboration banquet on Wednesday 1st October.\nPar
 ticipation in the meeting is by invitation only\, and registration is mand
 atory and without fee.\nRegistration deadline: 10th September 2025.\nData
