The "Precision SUSY Higgs Mass Calculation Initiative" (also known as KUTS) was launched in 2014 to provide a forum for discussions between the different groups involved in Higgs-mass calculations in supersymmetric (SUSY) models.
After eleven biannual meetings held in nine different European institutes (see the web page https://sites.google.com/site/kutsmh/), a working-group report was published at the end of 2020 (Eur.Phys.J.C 81 (2021) 5, 450). The report provided a comprehensive overview of the topic, documented all of the developments discussed during the KUTS meetings, and outlined the prospects for future improvements.
After a COVID-imposed hiatus, the 12th KUTS meeting, held last year at CERN, aimed to revive the initiative by broadening its focus: from just Higgs-mass calculations in SUSY models, to precision calculations of several Higgs-boson properties – and possibly of other observables in the EW sector, such as the W-boson mass – in both SUSY and non-SUSY BSM models.
It is now time for the 13th meeting, which will be organised at DESY from Wednesday, 26 June to Friday, 28 June. Participants will be encouraged to present any BSM precision calculation they have been particularly interested in since the last meeting, and some time will be left aside for further discussions on the aims and boundaries of the new version of the KUTS initiative.
At the organisational level, we plan to follow the same format as in the original KUTS workshops: three-day meetings (one afternoon, one full day, one morning) in which relatively few talks are presented and discussions proceed freely, without a strict schedule.

Warning: Please beware! Some participants have received fraudulent emails claiming to be from a company tasked with arranging accommodations for participants. These emails are scams. You would only receive emails from the DESY hostel after you have applied for a room with them.
