Keeping in step with the establishment of the International Development Team (IDT) in August 2020, a new organisation was formed in Tohoku, Japan, where the International Linear Collider is expected to be built. The organisation, the Tohoku ILC Project Development Center, is made up of 22 organisations, including universities, prefectural governments, cities and towns in […]
Japanese high-energy physics community accelerates ILC effort with new organisation
On 28 October, Japan’s high-energy physics community took a big step. The Japan Association of High Energy Physicists (JAHEP) announced the establishment of a new organisation called the ILC Steering Panel. The panel’s mandate is to lead the community in the timely realisation of the ILC project by developing and executing ILC promotion strategies in […]
Strengthening support for the realisation of the ILC
The Japan High Energy Physics Committee, representing the Japan Association of High Energy Physicists (JAHEP), recently established the ILC Steering Panel to “lead the high energy physics community in Japan to advance the ILC project towards timely realization.” This month the panel produced a most interesting report with a long title, Recent Progress Towards the […]
KEK publishes the International Working Group’s Recommendations for International Linear Collider
In May this year, KEK established the International Working Group on the ILC project to discuss issues such as international cost sharing for construction and operation, organization and governance of the ILC Laboratory, and international sharing of the remaining technical preparation.

Tohoku leaders hand request letters to Japanese government to invite the ILC
On 12 June, representatives from the following four organizations submitted a letter of request asking the Japanese government to explicitly express an intention to host the International Linear Collider (ILC): the Tohoku ILC Promotion Council, the Hokkaido/Tohoku Governors’ Association, the Hokkaido/Tohoku Prefectural Assembly Chairpersons’ Association, and the Tohoku Mayors’ Association. Since the national government gave […]
Registration for LCWS2019 open!
In recent years, linear collider workshops have been held twice a year: a regionally hosted one in spring and an internationally hosted one in autumn. They all rotate between Asia, North America and Europe. This year, an internationally hosted workshop – the International Workshop on Future Linear Colliders (LCWS 2019) – will be held in Sendai, Japan, from Monday, […]

On 21 May, Lyn Evans, Director of Linear Collider Collaboration announced at the press conference held in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. This year, the Linear Collider Workshop (LCWS) will take place from 28 October to […]
From KEK: KEK presented its plan for the ILC project in Lausanne
Masanori Yamauchi, Director General of KEK, made a presentation regarding KEK’s plan for the ILC, at the international conference held on 8-9 April 2019 in Lausanne, Switzerland. About 100 scientists from around the world who aim for the realization of electron-positron linear colliders gathered at the Linear Collider Community Meeting, to discuss the future linear […]
Nobel laureates speak for the ILC
It really was a “hot” day. In 2018 so far, Tokyo had 67 days of temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius, and 5 August recorded the highest temperature of 34.1 degrees. Despite such a terribly hot weather, Kiin-do Hall at Ochanomizu University in Tokyo was crowded with about 1000 enthusiastic spectators who gathered for the ILC […]
