Description

As the High-Luminosity LHC prepares to deliver an order of magnitude more data, and the planning of future colliders such as the FCC gains momentum, the collider physics programme for the upcoming decades relies critically on the precision of theoretical predictions for scattering observables.

Delivering predictions with the necessary accuracy and flexibility is paramount to enhance the discovery potential of future experiments as well as to stress test the Standard Model and explore its complex structure.
Meeting this challenge requires a collective effort and entails a multitude of obstacles in several areas of theoretical calculations.

In this talk, I will discuss the road ahead and highlight some of the key opportunities and the conceptual and technical challenges that must be tackled in the upcoming years.
