Description
The 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics has recommended the high‑luminosity electron–positron Future Circular Collider (FCC‑ee) as the preferred option for CERN's next flagship project. This choice would enable a programme of precision measurements in particle physics while reinforcing Europe's leadership in the field. The tunnel constructed for FCC‑ee could also provide the infrastructure for a subsequent hadron collider, FCC‑hh, operating at the energy frontier. This presentation will outline the current status of the FCC design, including the principal elements of the proposed layouts, ongoing research and development for key enabling technologies, and considerations for a possible implementation timeline.
