Summary
In this talk we present our recent progress towards the calculation of the full next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD corrections to dijet production and related observables at hadron
colliders. With preliminary results for gluonic jet production from gluon-gluon and quark-antiquark scattering we present the NNLO double-differential single jet
inclusive cross section where jets are reconstructed using the anti-$k_T$ jet
algorithm. We show that the NNLO correction significantly reduces the scale uncertainty compared to
next-to-leading order (NLO). A comparison with approximate results from threshold resummation is discussed and future phenomenological applications of NNLO predictions for jet collider data are addressed.
