Mandate
2025 marked an important milestone for the FCC-PED pillar in terms of internal communication, with the completion of the Feasibility Study Report and the associated discussions within the European Strategy for Particle Physics Update. Building on this momentum, a renewed “ECOI” specific structure is being put in place to support the next phase of the project.
Engagement
Building on more than 20 years of experience within the LHC experimental communities, the work package will focus on the developments of similar tool-kits (web, news items, dissemination, training). A high priority will be given to “In-Reach” aspects by developing material for interested students and scientists (within and beyond the HEP community), and by supporting and fostering Early Career Researchers engagement.
Contact Details
Contact persons and mailing lists are listed on the PED Organisation page
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
Website
Sathwik Prabhu Alake [IT technical student] has joined 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 & Written Content
Hector Garcia-Morales [free lance science writer, EPFL] has joined the team (part time) as of 04/05/2026 .
Goal: communication plan from the 2026 to the 2027 FCC weeks, featuring news, portraits of the “people of PED” and longer articles called “features”.
FAQ and Guiding Material
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
A public Linked-In group was setup in July 2026 to help spreading news and material: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/26230006/
Goal: invite FCC-PED active members to re-share the public information they are aware of.

Images
The FC Collaboration images are accessible in CERN’s CDS: https://cds.cern.ch/collection/FCC%20Photos?ln=en
The PED specific images used on our web site news feed are kept in a “private” collection: https://cds.cern.ch/collection/Restricted%20FCC%20Photos?ln=en . All FCC-PED e-group members have acces.

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.

2026 FCC week Presentation
20/03/2026
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.
Open Calls
The group is run by a single coordinator as long as the new FCC Project Office and Collaboration structures are not fully deployed. A detailed mandate will be discussed and shared in January 2027. New coordinators will be in place in time for the Madrid FCC week, April 2027.
News Feed
Two news pieces per month, describing in turn the PED Work Packages activities through interviews.
