The main aim of this online community meeting is to discuss issues related to the strategy for UK particle physics. The discussion will be structured around three questions posed by the Science Board (PPAN):
- The Advisory Panels provided input to SB (PPAN)’s September 2024 meeting – have there been any significant changes since that submission that you would like to bring to the attention of SB (PPAN)?
- Are there components within your roadmap or recent update that should be considered highest priority for STFC?
- With the new UKRI mission to advance knowledge, improve lives and drive growth, how should the programme evolve to deliver against this mission? For this question, a short answer now would be sufficient as this will be an ongoing conversation.
PPAP is preparing draft responses to these questions, which will be circulated in advance of the meeting. Following the community discussion, the responses will be updated and circulated for final comments before submission to the Science Board (PPAN) by the deadline of 23 February 2026.
