11. European Strategy Update: 11 On 30 May, at a special meeting hosted by the European Commission in Brussels, the CERN Council formally adopted the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics. 1.The LHC including its luminosity upgrade receive highest priority 2.Physics potential of future Linear Colliders is also well recognized in the Strategy statements 3.“Europe needs to be in a position to propose an ambitious post-LHC accelerator project at CERN by the time of the next Strategy update” and “CERN should undertake design studies for accelerator projects in a global context, with emphasis on proton-proton and electron-positron high-energy frontier machines. These design studies should be coupled to a vigorous accelerator R&D programme, including high-field magnets and high-gradient accelerating structures, in collaboration with national institutes, laboratories and universities worldwide.” BE-ABP group meeting; 19.6.2013

12. Future Project Studies and R&D Proposals: 12 Long list of potential activities for the ABP Group – not complete: 1. LHC 2. HL-LHC and LIU 3. HE-LHC (within existing LHC tunnel) 4.
