Dr. Frédérick Bordry will talk on the main LHC technical developments. Then the LHC status, the R&D program and the plans for the full exploitation of the LHC will be discussed and finally the FCC study will be introduced.

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a 27 km circumference hadron collider, built at CERN to explore the energy frontier of particle physics. Approved in 1994 after 10 years of prototyping of the main accelerator components, it was commissioned and began operation for data taking in 2010.

The design and construction of the LHC presented many design, engineering and logistical challenges which involved pushing a number of technologies well beyond their level at the time.
