“It is beautiful when theorists and experimentalists work together” – Portrait Sophie Renner
Convener of the Beyond Standard Model group of FCC-ee, Sophie Renner recently gave a lecture at the BNL-CERN School at Future Colliders. We talked with her about the school and the BSM theory prospects of the FCC-ee.

“We are no longer studying FCC-ee. We are preparing to build it.”
Following the European Strategy for Particle Physics recommendation of FCC-ee as CERN’s preferred next flagship collider, the project is moving from exploring possibilities to defining what could actually be built.

The FCC Early Career Forum at FCC Week
FCC Week 2026 brought together scientists from diverse disciplines and at every stage of their careers, from PhD students to senior researchers. Among the topics discussed during the plenary sessions was the FCC Early Career Forum (ECF), a network designed to encourage exchange and collaboration, particularly among young professionals.

Preparing the simulation and computing infrastructure for FCC-ee precision physics
Long before the first FCC-ee collisions take place, physicists are already studying its physics. Not in a detector, but in simulations capable of reproducing particle interactions and detector responses with unprecedented accuracy.

“The FCC-ee could open the Pandora’s box to understand the details of the Higgs boson” – Portrait Matthew McCullough
Born in Belfast and inspired by his brother, Matthew McCullough arrived at CERN in 2015 to develop theoretical studies on Beyond Standard Model physics and on the compositeness of the Higgs boson.

R&D boosts FCC detector technologies
Recent beam tests at CERN North Area, tested high-precision muon detector technologies for the IDEA detector concept. These experiments are part of the detector FCC-ee intense R&D carried out before the long LHC shutdown.
