Title: What’s next for CERN? Summary of the 2025 European Strategy for Particle Physics Open Symposium
Abstract: CERN is undergoing a planning exercise to determine its long-term strategy in particle physics; this exercise has some similarity to the Snowmass/P5 process, but with some differences.
Center to this strategy is what large-scale projects CERN will be undertaking after the LHC and its upgraded High-Luminosity LHC operations stop at around 2041.
This symposium represented the only general open meeting to showcase the current ideas and the received community inputs that were due in March 2025. It represented a middle-point before the appointed group starts drafting a report that is expected to be preliminarily available around the end of the year.
In this seminar, we will summarize what has been shown and give our main take-aways from this symposium and the strategy process.
