Join the INFN Accelerator School – Shaping the Future of Particle Physics!
Particle physics is at an exciting crossroads! As the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) nears the end of its standard configuration run, it is preparing to transition into the High-Luminosity LHC (HiLumi LHC), boosting its luminosity tenfold in the quest for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
At the same time, the global particle physics community is engaged in defining the future of accelerators, with the Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics taking place throughout 2025 and into spring 2026. The big question: What comes after the HiLumi LHC?
Several groundbreaking options are on the table:
🔹 A next-generation circular hadron collider with cutting-edge high-temperature superconductor (HTS) magnets? Either following the FCC-ee Higgs/electroweak/top factory, as envisaged by present CERN plan, or as direct bold step into the future.
🔹 A linear lepton collider leveraging plasma acceleration for a revolutionary compact design?
🔹 The resurgence of the Muon Collider, re-emerging as a bold alternative?
With so many competing concepts, how can we compare their beam dynamics, technological challenges, and scientific potential? How do cost, feasibility, and physics priorities shape the decision-making process?
💡 This Accelerator School is your opportunity to explore these questions firsthand! Designed for students, young researchers, and even experienced scientists, the school offers a comprehensive, comparative perspective on the next frontier of accelerator physics.
📌 What to Expect?
✅ Top-tier lecturers – leading scientists, chief technologists, and project directors
✅ A deep dive into all major accelerator proposals, with decision-makers
✅ Fact-based insights to help you form your own informed opinion
🚀 Don't miss this chance to be at the heart of the debate on the future of high-energy physics!

Registration for students opens on 25 May and closes 30 September 2025. Being the number limited, acceptance follows the first arrived-first served principle.
For late registration please write to the contact director and/or scientific secretariat.
Students are required to register for approval by the school director. At this stage students may or may not indicate travel details. Once notified of the acceptance, students must complete the registration with travel information, as soon as possible, not later than October 31, 2025.
