CERN publishes its strategy and main objectives for the period 2026–2030
This document details how the Organization will achieve key goals, building on the excellence of the whole community to ensure its success.
CERN has unveiled its strategic plan and key objectives for the period between 2026 and 2030, following approval from the CERN Council in June. This strategy aligns closely with the 2026 update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, outlining five primary pillars for success: global leadership in accelerator science and technology, pioneering scientific research, delivering value to CERN's stakeholders, wider societal impact, and organizational excellence.
The HL-LHC, encompassing both machine and detector advancements, holds the utmost priority for the next five years. Simultaneously, maintaining a robust non-collider physics program at CERN remains a top objective. Looking ahead, CERN's ultimate scientific goal is to secure approval for the ambitious FCC-ee project by 2028.
The strategy also highlights the vital role of CERN's workforce, emphasizing that their ongoing commitment to excellence is crucial for the Organization's future success.
