The European CARE HHH network studies possibilities to boost the LHC luminosity by up to a factor 10 to 10³⁵ cm^-2s^-1 after about 7 years of operation, i.e., around 2014. Such LHC upgrade would include new interaction regions, including stronger or larger-aperture low-beta quadrupoles, moderate modifications of several subsystems, like beam dump or collimation, in order to cope with a higher beam current, and, possibly, either long-range beam-beam compensation or crab cavities. In a more challenging approach one can envisage the upgrade of the injector chain and in a later stage the energy upgrade of the LHC itself. A CARE workshop devoted to the LHC upgrade and to the GSI FAIR project, 'HHH-2004', was held at CERN from 8-11 November 2004 (see http://care-hhh.web.cern.ch/CARE-HHH/HHH-2004). It was attended by more than 100 accelerator and particle physicists from Europe, the US and Japan. The AB seminar will present some of the workshop highlights.
