On 28 September 2018, the CERN Council formally launched the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, a two-year process involving the whole community and aiming at developing a common vision for the future of particle physics in Europe. The process is expected to be concluded in May 2020, with the approval of the updated strategy by CERN’s Council.

To inform this process, the particle-physics community has been invited to submit written input by 18 December 2018. The portal for the submission, with detailed instructions how to proceed, is now open.

This exercise will be followed by a Scientific Open Symposium to be held in Granada, Spain, from 13 to 16 May 2019, where the community is invited to debate the future orientation of European particle physics. Registration for this event is now also open.

All relevant information on the process of the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics is available on the website.
