Description

Every three years, the International Committee for Future Accelerators (ICFA) organises a seminar on “Future Perspectives in High Energy Physics”. This is a four-day international exchange of information concentrating on plans for future facilities in the field of particle physics. The meeting is by invitation only and comprises the directors of most of the world’s major laboratories in our field, senior particle and accelerator physicists, and government science officials from several countries.
 

The 13th ICFA Seminar on Future Perspectives in High-Energy Physics is organised by the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY.
