Thanks to the involvement of many early-career researchers (ECRs) over the past few months, the organisers of the ECR white paper for the European Strategy for Particle Physics update (ESPPU) were able to coordinate a collective effort that resulted in the ECR input for the Strategy update – formulated as 55 actionable recommendations to improve our future and the future of the field.
These recommendations cover such key topics as career development, well-being, recognition, science communication and the future of both collider and non-collider projects. In parallel, the organisers released a 100-page ECR white paper (arXiv:2503.19862) detailing the arguments behind those recommendations, grounded in a community-wide survey of over 800 ECRs across Europe.
Don’t miss the hybrid event on Tuesday, 27 May (1.00–4.00 p.m. CEST) to explore and discuss these recommendations and to reflect together on how to move forward as a community. The event is open to all, regardless of career stage or affiliation. We warmly welcome your participation and input.
