The public consultation for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) project generates extensive dialogue with the local communities
The public consultation process for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) project, which began in the spring, has just ended in France (on 1 October) and in Switzerland (on 2 October), following four months of interaction and dialogue with the local communities. The process consisted of two exercises tailored to each of CERN’s two Host States:

Exhibition | Imagining the future of physics
What remains to be discovered about the Universe? What tools will allow us to explore further? How are major research infrastructure projects decided upon? CERN is inviting the community and the general public to discover the current thinking on the future of particle physics through the exhibition Why? It matters. Matière à questions at the

Beam tests boost progress on detector technologies for the Future Circular Collider
The proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC) at CERN would put the Universe under a microscope like never before. By colliding electrons and positrons at four points around a 91 km ring, it would enable scientists to pin down the properties of the Higgs boson and other fundamental particles with a precision beyond the reach of

Positrons pass test for the Future Circular Collider
An experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Switzerland has successfully produced, captured and transported positrons using a novel system developed for CERN’s proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC). The results show that the key elements of the FCC positron-source concept can operate together, representing an important advance for this technically demanding aspect of the

Reading the layers beneath Lake Geneva
Understanding what lies beneath the surface is essential to assessing any major underground infrastructure project. For the placement studies for the proposed Future Circular Collider (FCC), this means developing the most accurate possible picture of the geological formations along the proposed tunnel route, including beneath Lake Geneva. Investigations on the lake began in 2025 with

The public consultation process for the Future Circular Collider (FCC) project begins in Switzerland and France
The public consultation process for the CERN-led Future Circular Collider (FCC) project will soon begin in Switzerland and France. These four months of exchanges and dialogue with the public are part of the preparations for a final decision on the project. As the CERN Council, comprising representatives of all the Organization’s Member States, prepares to update the European Strategy

Update on the public debate regarding the Future Circular Collider project
On 23 April, an update session was held at CERN regarding the ongoing public debate on the Future Circular Collider (FCC) project. This event was aimed at members of the CERN community wishing to find out more about the progress of the FCC project and the various initiatives designed to inform and engage with the
