In preparation for the discussions at the European Strategy meeting in Granada, this Conference will review the main findings of the physics studies carried out in the context of the FCC CDR. The physics discussion will be accompanied by a status report of the overall project, reviewing the technological challenges for both accelerator and detectors, the ongoing actions to address them, the project implementation strategy, and the cost estimates.
This Conference is meant to help all colleagues, interested in the future of high energy physics in Europe, become familiar with the extraordinary progress made in the past 5 years in defining a realistic plan to meet the ambitious physics targets of the FCC.
