Welcome to the summer edition of Accelerating News!
In this issue, we take a deep dive into FCC Week, the annual conference on CERN’s proposed 90.7-kilometre Future Circular Collider. The May event brought together over 600 experts to discuss the scientific and technical feasibility of building such a collider, which would be a successor to the current Large Hadron Collider. Separately, we look at a new augmented reality app launched during the conference that aims to help the public understand how particle physics research can lead to real-world innovations.
Elsewhere, we cover a workshop that brought together communication experts from Europe’s accelerator facilities to discuss how a renewed global focus on scientific competitiveness could impact the accelerator community, and look at how the I.FAST project is shaping the technologies for the accelerators of the future.
