Organisation:

All the material and links we know about are collected on the RESOURCES page. Any feedback and suggestion is welcome. Please use the dedicated Contact form

The editorial team meets weekly, on Mondays, to review feedback and requests, and organises an open meeting on Tuesdays at 11am (CERN time). Any topic or contribution to the later is welcome: https://indico.cern.ch/category/20813/

Web site:

• Sathwik Prabhu Alake [IT technical student] will joint the team (full time) as of 04/05/2026
• Goal: improve the “look and feel”, address feedback and add functionalities to the PED web site

News and written content:

• Hector Garcia-Morales [free lance science writer, EPFL] will join the team (part time) as of 04/05/2026 .
• Goal: communication plan from the 2026 FCC week to the 2027 Physics Week, featuring news, portraits of the “people of PED” and longer articles called “features”.

Q&A, by humans & chatbots:

• Claire Adam-Bourdarios is the primary contact for this activity, whose contours and structure are still under discussion.
• Goal: support the wider FCC project communication effort lead by CERN/ECO and the FCC Project Office by providing up to date PED text and material.

Social media:

• The ECOI group will not have any specific channel. We will propose, instead, stories and material for the official FCC and CERN channels or whoever is interested.
• The use of a FCC-PED hashtag (that will be defined at the 2026 FCC week) will be encouraged when the group visibility ramps up within the community.

Images:

• PED does not have a specific CDS tag yet; we are working on this. You can search for FCC https://cds.cern.ch/collection/Multimedia%20%26%20Outreach
• Simulated event displays are under preparation.

Information sharing:

• Should you need a speaker, we maintain an internal contact list and will follow up with the PED coordinators.
• In order to help speakers and volunteers, the “timeline” presented in the About FCC PED page will stay up to date, as well as the FCC Projects Highlights summary.
• We also maintain an internal list of the media material we know about; please contact us if you want to enrich our collection or need inspiration.

20/03/2026 – Work plan presentation to the CERN and LHC outreach coordinators: https://fcc-ped.web.cern.ch/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/PED-ECOI-LOGmeeting-ABC.pdf

“PED stands for Physics, Experiments and Detectors. It is the name of the group that originated the initial FCC-ee idea and, over 15 years of dedicated work, established the scientific programme that recently convinced the community it should be a priority. PED is also the group closest to the experimental and worldwide collaborations that built and operate the LHC detectors, analyse their data, and brought us to where we are today with the Higgs boson.Until now, it did not have a dedicated outreach structure — and that is precisely what the new ECOI is about. The first three letters — E, C and O — hold no mystery for LOG. The “I”, however, is new and may be the most urgent to address: it stands for In-reach, meaning engagement with our own colleagues and addressing their questions, while mooving towards the “pre-TDR” studies and documents suite that will be needed for the 2028 Council approval phase.”
