Description
The CERN Council has set itself the objective of updating the European Strategy for Particle Physics by May 2020. To achieve this, it has established a Strategy Secretariat to which it has assigned the task of organising the update process.The Strategy update process will include two major events: an “Open Symposium” and a “Strategy Drafting Session”. At the Open Symposium, to be held in the second half of May 2019, the community will be invited to debate the scientific input into the Strategy update, which will take the form of a “Briefing Book”. This will be prepared over the summer of 2019 by a Physics Preparatory Group (PPG) and submitted to the European Strategy Group (ESG) for consideration before and during its Strategy Drafting Session to be held in the second half of January 2020. To prepare the Open Symposium, the Strategy Secretariat hereby calls upon the particle physics community in universities, laboratories, national institutes and institutions to submit written input following the enclosed guidelines.
The deadline for input is 18 December 2018.
