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.

From finalising the ILC cost update to shaping the European Strategy for Particle Physics, the IDT has played a key role in major developments this year. With critical decisions on the horizon, the coming months will be decisive for the future of linear colliders.

As Europe moves forward with its next update to the European Strategy for Particle Physics (ESPPU2026), the International Linear Collider (ILC) remains part of the conversation. While new proposals and shifting priorities have added complexity, the ILC’s strong technical groundwork and global support continue to position it as a candidate for future international collaboration. How Europe engages will help shape the next phase of global particle physics planning.

As Europe updates its strategy for the future of high-energy physics with a special focus on the next flagship machine at CERN, there will be several input documents about linear collider facilities, says Tatsuya Nakada – both in Japan and in Europe.

While cooperation in technology is advancing with CERN joining the ILC Technology Network, and the ILC being generally ready to start further development work, there’s a lack of progress on political aspects like international discussions at a governmental level, the International Committee for Future Accelerators learnt at the recent meeting in Australia. IDT Chair Tatsuya Nakada reports on the ILC aspects.

If things had gone according to plan, the ILC would now be in its Pre-lab phase and the mandate for the International Development Team (IDT) concluded. But situation changes and plans need to be adjusted. Over the next year, IDT will strengthen efforts for advances in technology and preparation through a new network of laboratories around the world. Additionally, a newly formed group of experts will discuss intensively how a truly global accelerator project should be realised and seek a dialog with government authorities.

The International Development Team shares the statement about the current tragic war situation in Ukraine made by the IUPAP Executive Council, to which IDT is connected.

Almost one and half year has passed since the ILC International development Team was formed with the aim to prepare the ILC Preparatory Laboratory. In the coming months, we will explore and develop ideas for the Pre-lab implementation to provide information necessary for the ICFA discussion.
Tatsuya Nakada | 1 June 2021
After ten months of work, the ILC International Development Team, mandated to prepare the ILC Preparatory Laboratory, is reaching the first milestone with the release of a proposal which outlines the organisational framework, an implementation model and work plan of the Pre-lab. Many scientists contributed to this effort, showing the great interest of the community in the ILC project. A signal from the Japanese government towards indicating its interest in hosting the ILC and supporting the Pre-lab would now be required for gaining stronger engagement of interested laboratories around the world.

Tatsuya Nakada, freshly appointed chair of the newly founded ILC International Development Team, gives his view on the next 18 months in which the IDT will prepare for a Pre-Lab. It’s an ambitious plan, he says, but the overall atmosphere of the Team is very positive.
