The workshop will consist of three days of plenary talks.

Topics include:
  - The potential of the LHC and future colliders for precision measurements
  - Progress in multi-loop and multi-leg calculations
  - Interfacing fixed-order higher-order calculations with multi-purpose event generators
  - Application of effective field theory techniques to precision calculations
  - Prospects for improving PDFs for precision measurements

 

Local organizers: Ayres Freitas (chair), Joni George, Tao Han, Keping Xie
