The fifth DRD Calo Collaboration Meeting will take place at CERN between Tuesday 7th and Friday 10th April 2026.
The Year 2026 will be rich on scientific activities of the collaboration. We have proposed an intensive beam test programme and the meeting will be at the eve of the series of beam tests. In addition we expect to see results form 2024-25 beam tests.
It will be the first meeting that can take into account the recommendations of the European Strategy Group in view of the Update of the European Strategy of Particle Physics.
At the end of 2026 DRD Calo will ask for prolongation into the period 2027-29 and the meeting will be a first milestone event in view of this prolongation.
