The recently released recommendations of the European Strategy Group discuss Linear Colliders as technologically mature flagship projects which offer a competitive science program in Higgs and Top physics, while not ranking alternative projects beyond the FCC-ee. The next steps for Linear Colliders will be discussed at the LinearCollider@CERN Workshop in early January.

The Linear Collider Vision Community Event, held from 8 to 10 January at CERN and on zoom, took a fresh look at the physics case, extensions and technologies of a linear collider facility – and proposing such a facility for implementation at CERN. This article summarises the discussion and gives an outlook on the next steps towards the European Particle Physics Strategy Update.

LCWS2021 highlighted the large and increasing international community and efforts pursuing a future linear collider, and the community is now very focused on an ILC Pre-Lab as the immediate next step towards an operational Higgs-factory by 2035.

In August this year, the CLIC collaboration published an updated baseline-staging scenario that places emphasis on an optimised first-(and lower-) energy stage that can be extended to higher energies in further stages.

As the summer conferences are kicking off, providing more and more complete LHC 8 TeV results and the very first glimpses of 13 TeV data, it is also time to start thinking about the autumn linear collider programme. The LCWS15 and the International Linear Collider School will be held in Whistler, BC, Canada.

The annual CLIC workshop took place at CERN in January. The well attended meeting covered accelerator, detector and physics studies and highlighted a year of interesting results for CLIC, Steinar Stapnes, Associate Director for the Compact Linear Collider Study in the Linear Collider Collaboration, explains.
