Description
The latest European Strategy Update stimulated the preparation of the European Detector Roadmap document in 2021 by ECFA. This roadmap outlines nine technology domains and pinpoints urgent R&D topics, known as Detector R&D Themes (DRDTs). Task forces were set up to work on these topics, which subsequently led to the formation of Detector R&D Collaborations (DRDs), now hosted at CERN. By the end of 2023, the first collaborations focusing on different detector technologies were approved following reviews by the new DRD Committee DRDC. Presently, additional collaborations are seeking approval. In my talk, I will give an overview of the set-up process and the current status of all DRD collaborations.
